BACKGROUND: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the nail unit. No guidelines currently exist regarding the role of imaging in this specific location.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the utility of routine imaging in SCC of the nail apparatus.
METHODS: A multi-institutional retrospective review of patients treated for nail unit SCC was performed. Data were collected on patient characteristics, tumor qualities, treatment, and radiographic imaging. A change in treatment was defined as more aggressive treatment (amputation) rather than local excision or Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS).
RESULTS: One hundred seven patients with nail unit SCC were identified. Approximately 44/107 (41.1%) of patients were imaged and 63/107 (58.9%) were not. Mohs micrographic surgery was the most common primary treatment (66.4%). Mohs micrographic surgery was more commonly performed in nonimaged patients, and amputation was more commonly performed in imaged patients (p < .001). Bony changes were identified in 13/44 (29.5%) of imaged patients. In 8/44 (18.2%), imaging findings caused a change in treatment. In 99/107 (92.5%) of the cohort, imaging was either not performed or did not change management.
CONCLUSION: In select cases, imaging may help guide patient management. Sufficient evidence does not yet exist to support routine imaging for patients with nail unit SCC.
