Periungual warts are common warts that grow on the periungual or nail margin, and it's challenging to remove them due to their particular location, causing its high recurrence rate and brings difficulties to the treatments. We successfully cured two cases of stubborn periungual warts by local hyperthermia. A male with warts on his hands and knees and a girl with periungual warts on her fingers received local hyperthermia of 44 °C for 30 min a time. One month after the last treatment, their lesions disappeared entirely and did not relapse during the follow-up period. These two cases showed that local hyperthermia might be a safe and effective method for treating periungual warts in patients with poor traditional treatment.
甲周疣是常见的疣，生长在甲周或甲缘，由于其特殊的位置，治疗起来具有挑战性，导致其复发率高，给治疗带来困难。我们通过局部热疗成功治愈了两例顽固的甲周疣。一例男性手上和膝盖上有疣，一例女孩手指上有甲周疣，他们每次接受 44°C 的局部热疗 30 分钟。最后一次治疗后 1 个月，他们的皮损完全消失，随访期间无复发。这两例表明，对于传统治疗效果不佳的患者，局部热疗可能是一种安全有效的治疗甲周疣的方法。
