Abstract:
Common warts are small, benign tumors, and they are usually self limiting hyperkeratotic skin lesions that are infected by human papillomavirus (HPV). Although warts can occur at any age, they are most often seen in children and young adults. It is most commonly found on the acral skin of the hands and fingers, but the lesions may occur anywhere on the skin surface. There are some cases with uncommon forms for the shape and distribution, but there have been no reported cases of common warts occurring on the finger web in a mirror image form in Korea. Herein, we report on an interesting case of common warts that occurred on the right 4th finger web in a mirror image form in a 3-year-old Korean boy.
