Abstract:
Acquired digital fibrokeratomas are rare, benign, fibrous and hyperkeratotic skin tumors. The tumors usually occur in adults as solitary, dome-shaped lesions. Fingers and toes are the most frequent localization. We report a case of acquired digital fibrokeratoma in a 62-year-old male who presented with a 1x1x3 cm sized, firm, hyperkeratotic, protruding mass on his left 5th toe. Histologically, an increase collagen bundles with neovascularization in the dermis and overlying acanthosis and orthokeratosis were noted. The patient showed no recurrence 6 months after surgical resection.
