- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 16-year-old boy with aberrant nails on the second, third, and fourth fingers of both hand. After his physical examination, it found out that there is an excess tissue in the semi-nard keratinized structure in the area that separates the free nail plate and the groove. It notes that the semi-hard keratinized structure has produced a wide lesion attached to the distal and visceral nail plate.
