AB  - SUMMARYLongitudinal  melanonychia  (LM)  is  defined  as  a  longitudinal  band  of  brown-black  pigment  that  runs  from  the  nail  matrix  to  the  distal  nail  plate.It  is  important  to  distinguish  benign  etiologies  of  LM,  like  benign  melanocytic  activation,  lentigos  and  nevi,  from  nail  melanoma.A  thorough  history,  physical  exam,  and  onychoscopic  inspection  can  provide  helpful  clues  and  guide  management;  however,  excision  and  histopathological  analysis  remains  the  gold  standard  for  diagnosis.
