Habit-tic deformity is a classic example of overlap between the domains of dermatology and psychiatry.  Mostly seen in adults, it results from the habit of picking or pushing the cuticle backward. A case of habit-tic deformity of a single thumb nail is reported and the simple treatment measure adopted discussed.

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is an uncommon disease characterized by nail dystrophy, cutaneous hyperpigmentation, leukoplakia, pancytopenia, and malignant transformation. There can be some oral and dental changes such as oral leukoplakia, increase in tooth decay, hypodontia, thinning of enamel layer, aggressive periodontitis, intraoral brown pigmentation, missing tooth, taurodontism, and blunted roots. Most of cases belong to dermatology or pediatrics department. There are few reports about dentistry. The aim of this report is to lay emphasis on this fatal syndrome among dentists about the multisystem findings and oro-dental changes. Thus, this information may aid dentists in early diagnosis. A case of 21-year-old male diagnosed with DC is reported.

Abstract Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (IEB) is a genodermatosis transmitted in either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive manner. The disease is characterized by the development of blisters, erosions, scars, nail dystrophy and scalp abnormalities. Our case report has included four members of one family in three generations with manifested disease. Our 25-year-old female patient presented with a few eroded, crusted, nummular lesions localized on the dorsal plate of interphalangeal joints of fingers, elbow and knee skin, while anonychia was found on her digits. Our youngest patient (her 3.5-year-old son) presented with the lesions in the form of blisters filled with serous fluid, erosions, recent scars and atrophy. Some atrophic scars on the elbow and knee skin were found in our patient′s younger brother, aged 16. The 46-year-old mother of our female patient had nail dystrophy on her hands accompanied by the toenails absence. Pediatric geneticist created the pedigree chart which showed autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with complete expressivity and penetrance. Further diagnostics was not done because the family was not interested.

Sarcoidosis with nail involvement is rare and most commonly affecting plural digits. Nail changes are frequently an indication of systemic disease and underlying bone involvement, thus complete clinical evaluation with bone and thorax radiological examination is a necessity in suspected cases. We report a case of onychodystrophy with osseous involvement of only one finger as unique manifestation of sarcoidosis, which is very rare.

Breast cancer now affects 1 in 8 American women and the taxane agent paclitaxel (Taxol® Bristol-Myers Squibb) is a major tool in the treatment of many such patients. Hand surgeons are therefore likely to encounter upper extremity complications related to the use of taxane therapy. We present an unusual case of a felon developing in a breast cancer patient on paclitaxel therapy with no antecedent history of trauma. Whereas onycholysis and subungual hemorrhage are reported complications of taxane therapy ( Fig. 1 ), an acute felon with or without associated paronychia is an unusual and more aggressive manifestation of this drug-related nail dystrophy.

Dyskeratosis congenita is a rare congenital disorder affecting mainly the integumentary system. It is a progressive disease with involvement of bone marrow. A triad of hyperpigmentation, nail dystrophy and leucoplakia are characteristic of this disease. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v33i3.8166   J. Nepal Paediatr. Soc. 2013;33(3):223-226
