Onychopapilloma is a benign tumor of the nail bed and distal matrix and is the most common cause of localized longitudinal erythronychia. Here, we describe a case of onychopapilloma presenting as longitudinal leukonychia of the left 4th fingernail in a 71-year-old female. To date, this is only the ninth described case of onychopapilloma presenting as longitudinal leukonychia. We review the literature on the reported cases and provide evidence that longitudinal leukonychia as the presenting sign for onychopapilloma is becoming increasingly recognized in clinical practice.
甲乳头状瘤是一种甲床和甲远端基质的良性肿瘤，是局限性纵向红甲最常见的原因。在此，我们描述了一例71岁女性左手中指出现纵向白甲的甲乳头状瘤病例。迄今为止，这仅是第九例被描述为以纵向白甲表现的甲乳头状瘤病例。我们回顾了相关报道病例的文献，并提供证据表明，纵向白甲作为甲乳头状瘤的首发体征在临床实践中越来越受到认可。
