Onychomatricoma is a rare tumor of the nail matrix. Until now, few cases of
onychomatricoma have been reported in the literature. Immunohistochemically,
CD10, a marker of the onychodermis, is expressed in the stroma of the
onychomatricoma. In the present case, a 27-year-old woman presented with an
8-year history of a yellowish, thickened, and overcurved nail plate of the right
index finger, mimicking onychomycosis. She had been treated for 4 years with
antifungal agents by general physicians, without improvement. The nail was
surgically removed, and the tumor at the nail matrix was excised. The nail plate
continued to grow in the 2 months after the excision. This is a case of
onychomatricoma in South Korea, which was initially misdiagnosed as
onychomycosis. In addition, we present a review of the literature regarding
clinical, sonographic, and histological features, differential diagnoses, and
treatment of onychomatricoma.
