Abstract
Subungual melanom, melanomun nadir bir alt tipidir. Subungual melanom genellikle tırnakta renk değişikliği, tırnak yarılması veya tırnak yatağı kanaması olarak ortaya çıkar ve kolayca onikomikoz veya bakteriyel enfeksiyon olarak yanlış teşhis edilebilir. Ayrıca, geç tanıya yol açabilecek sekonder enfeksiyonlar da mümkündür. Bu nedenle, subungual melanomların çoğu ileri aşamalarda teşhis edilir ve kötü prognozla ilişkilidir. Sol ayak başparmağında 6 yıldır siyah renk değişikliği ve 1 yıldır eşlik eden pürülan akıntı öyküsü olan 90 yaşında erkek hasta, gecikmiş subungual melanom tanısı ile sunuldu

Abstract
Subungual melanoma is a rare subtype of melanoma. Subungual melanoma usually presents as a discoloration of the nail, nail splitting, or nail bed bleeding and may easily be misdiagnosed as onychomycosis or bacterial infection. Furthermore, secondary infections are possible, which could lead to late diagnosis. For this reason, most subungual melanomas are diagnosed in advanced stages and are associated with a poor prognosis. We present the case of a 90-year-old man with a 6-year history of black discoloration in the left big toe and a 1-year history of coexisting purulent discharge, with a delayed diagnosis of subungual melanoma.
