Summary:3D biomodels represent a cutting-edge advancement in medical imaging technology. The incorporation of 3D technologies in dermatology through the acquisition of onychological images, 3D reconstruction, and development of customized equipment to assist in surgeries demonstrated reduction in operating times and improved surgical outcomes. Additionally, the use of 3D printing in surgical simulation provided a safe environment for training and education. This article explores the application of 3D biomodels in dermatology, focusing on three clinical cases involving nail tumors. In case 1, a glomus tumor was visualized in 3D, guiding the creation of a personalized surgical device. The minimally invasive surgery, facilitated by the biomodel, resulted in successful tumor removal. Case 2, featuring a subungual keratoacanthoma, utilized 3D biomodels for conservative surgery planning, anatomical comprehension, and patient communication. Case 3 involved a longitudinal groove, where biomodels aided in precise lesion localization and surgical planning. The integration of virtual and physical anatomical biomodels proves valuable in surgical dermatology, contributing to enhanced treatment quality, patient safety, and medical education.
