Abstract:
We report a case of intradermal nevus in a 43-year-old female patient, who presented with a tender, solitary papule on the periungual area, which seemed to be a periungual fibroma. The skin biopsy revealed the upper dermis and lower dermis containing nests and cords of nevus cells without junctional activity. It was totally removed by excisional biopsy.
