Congenital pseudoclubbing of a fingernail caused by subungual hemangioma

Localization of hemangioma under the proximal nailfold is extremely rare and produces nail pseudoclubbing caused by capillary vessel proliferation in the soft tissue of the subungual region, which is associated with a reddish discoloration of the nail that typically fades with compression. Hemangiomas of infancy located in the proximal nailfold are rare, and, in our opinion, not at risk to become big masses with tissue damage and compression.
