A pincer nail is a common nail deformity of toenails and is characterized by nail thickening and nail plate deformation. It often causes severe pain for patients. We perform a thorough literature review and an additional review of pertinent clinical cases, aiming to provide a comprehensive review of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical classification, differential diagnosis, and treatment of pincer nail deformity (PND). Understanding the clinical characteristics and treatment progress of a pincer nail will provide clinicians with comprehensive and evidence-based information about PND, thus allowing the selection of an appropriate treatment according to the patient’s request and the clinical manifestations of PND, which should maximize patient satisfaction.

Pemphigus refers to a group of rare autoimmune bullous diseases that affect the skin and mucous membranes causing flaccid intraepidermal blisters, erosions, and acantholysis. The 3 major groups of pemphigus are PV, PF, and paraneoplastic pemphigus. Pemphigus vulgaris, the most common form of pemphigus, is caused by IgG autoantibodies directed against desmosomal proteins, specifically desmoglein 3. The presence of IgG autoantibodies against DSG1 and DSG3 can be used to confirm the diagnosis. The mean age of onset is between 40 and 60 years with an equal incidence in men and women. Pemphigus vulgaris occurs at a range of 1 to 5 new cases per million people each year. It occurs with higher prevalence in Ashkenazi Jews and those of the Eastern Hemisphere. 3 A pincer nail deformity can be characterized as an increase in transverse curvature along the longitudinal axis of the nail. This curvature increases from the proximal to distal aspect, leading to pinching of the involved digits, giving the nail a trumpet-like appearance. 1 Major indications for treatment are pain, discomfort wearing shoes, and cosmetic embarrassment.
