Abstract: The clinical diagnosis of benign and malignant nail tumors can be difficult. Dermoscopy can provide a clue to the diagnosis but nail biopsy is the gold standard in establishing the diagnosis. Here, we report three cases of rare nail tumors, that is, onychopapilloma, onychomatricoma, and subungual osteochondroma, which were diagnosed on histopathology and managed surgically.

subungual osteochondroma Keymessage: Diagnosis of nail tumors is often difficult compared to their skin counterparts. This is probably because the nail can obscure the lesion or many nail tumors mimic inflammatory dermatoses of the nail unit. Histopathological diagnosis and appropriate surgical excision play an important role in the effective management of nail tumors and prevention of future recurrences
