Melanotic macule of nail unit and its clinicopathologic spectrum - 09/08/11
New York, New York

The clinical and histologic spectrum of melanotic macule of the nail unit is examined and the differences in the clinical appearance of longitudinal melanochychia caused by melanotic macule and by other kinds of proliferations of melanocytes are assessed.
