Abstract

Malignant subungual melanoma is an infrequently encountered but often misdiagnosed clinical entity. The podiatric surgeon plays a major role in the early diagnosis and surgical management. An illustrative case report of its clinical presentation and a thorough review of current therapeutic modalities are presented.
