Yellow nail syndrome was first described in 1964 by Samman and White. The full syndrome consists of the triad yellow nails, lymphedema, and pleural effusions with associated respiratory tract involvement. However, yellow nails alone or with any combination of the triad is termed yellow nail syndrome. We are describing a patient with yellow nails and pulmonary disease, whose nails cleared after resolution of his pulmonary condition. Although various therapeutic approaches have been used, the treatment of pulmonary disease was important in our patient.
