AB - Subungual exostosis (SE) is a rather uncommon benign bony outgrowth of the distal phalanx of the toes,
affecting mainly adolescents and young adults. While inherently painless, it grows progressively and leads
to nail deformity which eventually produces pain and has negative impact on the quality of life of the
affected individual. The present paper presents a step-by-step guide to the in situ split-thickness toenail bed
graft technique. The outcome of our case was in line with the current literature, the preservation of the nail
led to a highly satisfactory cosmetic result, while no recurrence of the lesion was reported.
