Other than onychomatricoma I don't know any other diagnosis that could explain the multiple parallel epithelial layers seen so beautifully here.  They look like a fine tooth comb!

I called this onychopapilloma. It has premature keratinization. I think of onychomatricoma as a fibro-epithelial proliferation with both stromal and epithelial components.
