We report two cases of trauma-induced Beau's lines accompanied by pyogenic granulomas of the proximal nail folds of the affected fingers. The preceding trauma was not directly to the nail matrix but was more proximal, on the palm in one case and the arm in the other. The simultaneous occurrence of Beau's lines and pyogenic granulomas following trauma has not been reported previously in the literature.
