Twenty-nail dystrophy; infestation of all nails (20-nail syndrome); roughened, thinned nail plate with slatelike exfoliation (trachonychia) in Alopecia areata totalis.
Psoriasis of the nails. approx. 4 x 5 mm oil stain on the distal nail matrix near the inflamed nail bed of a 51-year-old patient with psoriasis vulgaris since 15 years. Additional findings show some small rhagades in the area of the nail bed. Wide distal onycholysis.
Psoriasis of the nails: psoriatic onychodystrophy in a 51-year-old patient with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriasis arthropatica in advanced stage known for 15 years. The nail matrix appears altogether very crumbly and dystrophic. The nail plate is proximally incompletely formed, also at the distal end.
Psoriasis of the nails. lifting of the integrity of the nail plate, instead crumbly nail material. thickening of the nail plate in places as well as splintering in the distal area.
psoriasis of the nails. severe onychodystrophy with wave-like transverse ligament with simultaneous psoriatic attack of the nail wall (paronychium). completely missing eponychium (cuticle). partially crumbly nail matrix on the nail surface as well as on the distal edge. no pain symptoms.
psoriasis of the nails. subungualand ungual changes. the changes in the nail plate correspond to focal parakeratotic keratinizing plaques which erupt during outgrowth and give the typical picture of "psoriatic spots or dimples". whitish lifted nail area due to subungual onycholysis.
Erythronychia, localized longitudinal. idiopathic, solitary, painless, red longitudinal striation of the left thumbnail plate with a low-grade, V-shaped retraction and splinter hemorrhage in a 29-year-old female patient.
Erythronychia, localized longitudinal. idiopathic, solitary, painless, red longitudinal striation of the nail plate with low-grade, V-shaped retraction and splinter hemorrhaging. The clinical picture is diagnostically conclusive.
Erythronychia, localized longitudinal detail magnified by reflected light microscopy; solitary, painless, red longitudinal striation of the nail plate with slight, V-shaped retraction and several splinter hemorrhages.
haematoma, nail haematoma. nail alteration after slight crush trauma. striped, red and blue-black spots (splinter hemorrhages). since red and black shades are present at the same time, this finding speaks against a melanotic pigmentation.
hematoma, nail hematoma. blue-blackish, sharply defined pigmentation (here of the big toe nail) due to a previous traumatic event. no distal stripy nail discoloration. the absence of distal stripy nail changes excludes the important differential diagnoses "subungual malignant melanoma" and "subungual melanocytic nevus".
Nail hematoma: sharply limited brownish discoloration of the nail; no streaky distal pigmentation of the nail (important differential diagnostic distinction to a malignant melanoma).
Half and half nail: Zonal, slightly blurred white coloration of the proximal and brown coloration of the distal nail plate; no underlying disease known.
