Abstract
SCC of the nail unit mostly affects men aged 50 to 69 years. Most cases were the warty type, with oozing being an underrecognized clinical sign. Contrary to prior studies, most lesions were in situ, and bone involvement was uncommon. Conservative surgical resection should be the first-line treatment when the bone is not involved. Recurrence rate is high when a procedure other than Mohs micrographic surgery is performed.
