مستخلص: Nail biopsy is thought to be a useful technique for the diagnosis of diseases affecting the nail apparatus and may help avoid delays in the diagnosis of important mucocutaneous diseases. Furthermore, it has therapeutic value in its own right. It is not a difficult technique to perform but it requires an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the nail unit, as well as surgical experience and patient collaboration. In order to assess the diagnostic utility of this technique, we reviewed the nail biopsies performed in our department between June 2005 and May 2006.
