AB SUMMARYNail  melanoma  can  originate  from  the  nail  matrix  (typically  with  longitudinal  melanonychia)  or  the  nail  bed  (typically  amelanotic).Nail  melanoma  is  more  common  in  ethnicities  with  darker  skin,  such  as  Native  Americans,  Africans,  and  Hispanics.While  clinical  findings  and  dermoscopy  can  help  narrow  a  differential,  pathology  is  the  only  way  to  confirm  diagnosis  of  nail  melanoma.
