Traumatic subungual neuroma.Clin Exp Dermatol. 2018; 43: 65-66https://doi.org/10.1111/ced.13247Crossref PubMed Scopus (2) Google Scholar Because the nail plate inherently provides protection to the subungual location, subungual neuromas are rarely suspected by clinicians, especially in cases lacking an obvious history of trauma. Here we describe a case of a subungual neuroma that presented as persistent onycholysis complicated by green nail syndrome. A 53-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of a green-colored right thumbnail. Examination was notable for a right thumbnail with onycholysis and dark green chloronychia of the distal nail (Fig 1). There was no history of preceding trauma or manipulation. The patient worked in the food service industry. Previous treatment included oral fluconazole, oral terbinafine, oral ciprofloxacin for 1 week, vinegar soaks, topical gentamicin ointment, and topical efinaconazole solution without improvement. Bacterial culture of the fingernail revealed heavy growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Fungal culture at this time was negative. The patient was started on oral ciprofloxacin with a plan for 5 weeks of treatment; however, she discontinued the medication prematurely due to concern for tendonitis after a wrist surgery. The patient was subsequently treated with dilute bleach soaks of the fingernail biweekly and oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 2 months, with partial improvement. Fungal culture at this time showed moderate growth of Candida species, and fungal polymerase chain reaction detected Candida parapsilosis. Over the next 2 years, the patient was treated with several cycles of pulse itraconazole 200 mg twice daily for 1 week per month over 3 months, but had minimal improvement. Given the incomplete resolution of the green discoloration of the nail and persistent onycholysis, a punch biopsy of the distal nail bed was performed, including the most proximal lytic area of the nail bed. The distal half of the nail plate was avulsed for the biopsy. After avulsion, there was no evidence of a visibly recognizable lesion. Histopathologic evaluation demonstrated prominent mature neural tissue and mucinous change within a fibrotic onychodermis, consistent with a neuroma (Fig 2). Two months after the biopsy, the patient's green discoloration had completely resolved, with minor residual onycholysis at the distal-most portion. Observation was recommended.Fig 2Histopathology of subungual neuroma.

Green nail syndrome, most commonly caused by P aeruginosa, is a nail disease of infectious etiology that causes green chromonychia, onycholysis, and chronic paronychia.7Ohn J. Yu D.A. Park H. Cho S.

Examination of subungual lesions can be challenging, especially when there is overlying discoloration of the nail plate. Thus, nail unit biopsy may be considered in refractory cases. Potential treatment options for traumatic neuromas include surgical excision, corticosteroid injection, neurolysis, or expectant management.3Rashid R.M. Rashid R.M. Thomas V.

If the onycholysis does not fully resolve in the future, however, the patient would be at risk of recrudescence of green nail syndrome. None disclosed." @default.
