The exact pathogenesis is still unknown. This rare condition often affects the dorsal aspect of the phalanx. Surgical excision of the nail is the treatment of choice, with complete destruction of the nail matrix.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n We report a case of an 18-year-old female presenting to the clinic with an asymptomatic keratotic lesion on the lateral aspect of the distal phalanx after 3 years of digit trauma. X-ray imaging of the affected finger was normal, without any bony deformity. The ectopic nail was surgically excised with cauterization of the matrix to prevent relapse.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n Ectopic nails can be either congenital or acquired. Injuries can lead to PTEN formation by causing the germinal matrix to divide and implant into the skin. The ectopic nail in our case arises from the lateral aspect of the finger 3 years after trauma, which is an unusual occurrence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The ectopic nail causes an aesthetical concern, usually with no other symptoms. However, surgical excision is necessary, with emphasis on the importance of cauterizing the matrix to prevent future relapse.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Highlights<\/jats:title>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2024.110340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]],"date-time":"2024-10-14T02:29:47Z","timestamp":1728872987000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Acquired ectopic nail: A case report in an 18-year-old female with traumatic onset"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"124","author":[{"given":"Amir","family":"Sleibi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noura Abdul","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alaa","family":"Alzakri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rayhan","family":"Sultan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Serena Claude","family":"Karou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Silva","family":"Ishkhanian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Aleppo, Aleppo, Syria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"R1-29-20260421","first-page":"218","article-title":"Post traumatic ectopic nail","volume":"52","author":"Rajashekar,","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
