Case Reports[Apropos of a case of epidermoid carcinoma of the nail bed with intraneural metastasis to the median nerve].
The authors report a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed with multiple metastases including a metastasis of the median nerve. This particular site raises the problem of the mechanism of dissemination and the aggressiveness of this squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed contrasts with the data reported in the literature. The initial treatment of this tumour must consist of amputation of the distal phalanx.
