Abstract
Nail involvement by pemphigus vulgaris is uncommon and has been associated with the severity of disease. Paronychia, onychomadesis, Beau's lines, nail hemorrhages, cross riding, discoloration, hyperkeratosis, pitting, pterygium, onychodystrophy, onycholysis, onychorrhexis, onychoschizia and trachyonychia have been reported. These nail disorders may appear before, concomitantly or after the typical manifestations of pemphigus flare ups. Two adult patients presenting with nail disorders associated with pemphigus vulgaris are herein commented. Case studies might contribute to enhance the awareness about these nail disturbances very scarcely reported.
