Blue nevus, in all its clinical variants, rarely affects the nail bed. This leads to difficulty in the diagnosis of blue nevi within the nail bed as well as to challenges with regards to its treatment and follow up management, not solely attributed to the intrinsic difficulty of the anatomical site.

We propose diagnostic and therapeutic options based on personal clinical and surgical experience. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
