Clinical and dermoscopic features of onychomatricoma in Korean patients.

This article, published in the Australasian Journal of Dermatology, explores the clinical and dermoscopic features of onychomatricoma in Korean patients. Onychomatricoma is a rare benign tumor that originates from the nail matrix. The study analyzed ten patients with pathologically confirmed onychomatricoma and found that the most common clinical findings were increased nail thickness and xanthonychia. Dermoscopic examination revealed patterns such as localized nail thickening and multiple cavities at the free edge. The study also identified four distinct types of onychomatricoma based on clinical and dermoscopic findings. The article concludes by acknowledging the limitations of the study and the need for further research on the morphologic characteristics of onychomatricoma in different ethnicities.
