| 6 MM: Initially longitudinal pigmented streaks in the nail plate which increased in breadth, finally involving the whole nail plate, without deformities. Hutchinson's sign was observed in all cases. |

| 18 BMN: 15 showed partial pigmentation in the nail plate, and in 3 the entire nail plate was involved, without deformities. Pigmented macu-les of the fingertip were observed in the same 3 cases and another 2 cases. |

|
| However the surface profiles of the hyponychial pigmentation of subungual melanoma obtained by the dermoscope were different from those of BMN, although dermoscopic features of the nail plates are indistinguishable. The pattern of pigmentation of BMN had a brushy linear structure across the skin marks. In contrast, subungual melanoma in situ exhibited haphazard pigmentation distributed in a disorderly fashion over the entire surface. |

Melanoma (20 cases): association of brown pigmentation of the background (19/20; 95%) with longitudinal brown to black lines irregular in their coloration, spacing, thickness and parallelism. The irregular pattern of the lines was significantly associated with melanoma when compared with all other diagnoses (P=.001, taken either individually or as a group (P=.001 in all 5 differential diagnoses). Melanoma shared with melanocytic nevus the brown coloration of the background. |

Melanocytic nevus (37 cases): brown background (37/37; 100%) and the regular pattern of the longitudinal lines (35/37; 95%) . The presence of these lines, regular in their thickness, spacing, coloration, and parallelism, was found statistically sufficient to distinguish nevus from melanoma (P=.001). |

Drug-induced nail pigmentation (16cases): grayish coloration of the background (15/16; 94%) and the presence of thin longitudinal gray lines with regular thickness, spacing, coloration and absence of parallelism disruption. These dermoscopic findings were no different from the ones observed in ungual lentigo or ethnic-type pigmentation, but significantly differed from melanoma (P=.001). |

Nail apparatus lentigo (45 cases): grayish coloration of the background (44/45; 98%) and the presence of thin longitudinal gray lines, regular in their coloration, thickness and spacing (42/45; 93%). The presence of these 2 criteria significantly differentiated nail lentigo from melanoma (P=.001). |
45 NAP |
| |
|
|
Ethnic-type pigmentation (8 cases): The patterns in these cases were similar to those previously described in ungual lentigo and drug induced nail pigmentation, but significantly different from those of melanoma (P=.001). The two characteristic dermoscopic features of ethnic-type nail pigmentation were the grayish background (7/8; 87.5%) and the thin, regular gray lines (7/8; 87.5%). |

Subungual hemorrhage (22 cases): well-defined, rounded proximal edge and a purple to brown coloration were observed in all cases of subungual hemorrhages (22/22; 100%). |
