ABSTRACT

Hyperpigmentation of the skin during pregnancy is frequently observed, there are few reports of longitudinal melanonychia associated with this physiological condition. Longitudinal melanonychia is commonly observed in dark skin and oriental people, it rarely occurs in caucasians. We present a 33-year-old female, with longitudinal melanonychia in fingernails and toenails with hyperpigmentation in interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints developed during the second trimester of pregnancy and persisted five weeks after delivery.
