		<description><![CDATA[Exogenous white stains and particularly superficial white onychomycosis (Jessner’s leukonychia trichophytica) cause white nails. In temperate climates the cause of superficial white onychomycosis is usually Trichophyton mentagrophytes, but in hot and humid climates also moulds such as Fusarium species may infect the surface of the nail plate. The nail is white and opaque also in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All conditions leading to onycholysis also cause apparent leukonychia. Psoriasis may cause both true and apparent leukonychia. True leukonychia is due to matrix involvement, and apparent leukonychia to onycholysis and/or parakeratosis of the nail bed. One of the earliest signs of leprosy is apparent macrolunula, which may become total in dystrophic leprosy. Table 7.1 Causes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The uraemic half-and-half nail of Lindsay consists of two parts separated more or less transversely by a well-defined line. The proximal area is dull white, resembling ground glass and obscuring the lunula; the distal area is pink, reddish or brown, and occupies between 20% and 60% of the total length of the nail (average 33%).

		<description><![CDATA[The cause of apparent leukonychia is an alteration of the subungual tissue, either a vascular abnormality or onycholysis/nail bed hyperkeratosis. White opacity of the nails in patients with cirrhosis is also called Terry’s nails. In the majority of cases, the nails are of an opaque white colour, obscuring the lunula. This discoloration, which stops suddenly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Isolated longitudinal leukonychia is an example of localized metaplasia. It is characterized by a permanent, greyish-white longitudinal streak, 1 mm wide, below the nail plate. Histologically there is a mound of horny cells causing the white discoloration due to a lack of transparency, leading to alteration in light diffraction. Subungual filamentous tumour is the most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Punctate leukonychia is characterized by white spots 1–3 mm in diameter occurring singly or in groups almost exclusively on finger nails. They are usually due to repeated minor trauma to the matrix. The evolution of the spots is variable; appearing generally on contact with the cuticle, they grow distally with the nail. Approximately half of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One or several finger nails exhibit a band, usually transverse, 1–2 mm wide and often occurring at the same site in each nail. Transverse leukonychia is almost always due to trauma affecting the distal matrix, for example overzealous manicuring. The condition is more frequently seen in children and adolescents. There is apparently an inborn tendency [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In subtotal leukonychia there is a pink arc of about 2–4 mm in width distal to the white area. Nucleated cells in the distal area were believed to mature, lose their keratohyalin granules and then produce normal nail keratin several months after their formation. It was also suggested that parakeratotic cells are present along the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[White nails are the most common form of colour change. These can be divided into the following main types: 1 True leukonychia, in which the nail plate is involved. 2 Apparent leukonychia, with involvement of the subungual tissue. 3 Pseudoleukonychia. In true leukonychia the nail appears opaque and white, probably owing to the diffraction of [...]]]></description>

It also occurs with metastases to the cervical and upper mediastinal lymph [...]]]></description>
