We report a case of pediatric onychopapilloma that presented with monodactylous longitudinal erythronychia. Pediatric dermatologists should be aware that this rare, benign nail unit tumor can occur in children. Clinicians should recognize its clinical and histologic presentation and be cognizant of management options.
