SUMMARY Melanonychia was induced by the topical application of 5‐fluorouracil in the treatment of periungual warts affecting two fingers. The pigmentation, involving the lunula of the nails of all fingers, was identical to that induced by systemically administered cytotoxic drugs. This paper was read at the Franco‐British Reunion of the B.A.D., 28 June 1983.
