Article Abstract
Background: A wide variety of tumors can affect the nail unit, with some commonly mistaken as inflammatory or infectious diseases. Obtaining an optimal sample for histopathologic evaluation requires understanding of nail unit anatomy as well as the histopathology of the suspected nail tumor.
Summary: This review discusses clinical and histopathologic features of a subset of benign and malignant nail tumors, including subungual melanoma, nail unit squamous cell carcinoma in situ, nail unit squamous cell carcinoma, onychomatricoma, onychopapilloma, onychocytic matricoma, and onychocytic carcinoma. Optimal surgical sampling techniques for each lesion are presented.
Key Messages: In summary, the clinical and histopathologic features of several common and rare nail unit tumors and the optimal sampling techniques for each lesion are presented in this manuscript. Knowledge of the clinical and histopathologic features of these tumors informs the surgical approach to them and will produce the best patient outcomes.

Introduction: Psoriasis (PsO) is a common inflammatory dermatological condition with a substantial negative impact on patient quality of life. Several biological agents are available for the treatment of PsO, and clinicians and patients must consider various factors when deciding on the most appropriate biological agent.
Methods: Here, we report a set of consensus statements developed by an Italian PsO advisory board on use of the anti-interleukin-17A biological secukinumab in routine clinical practice.
