Abstract:
We report herein a case of acquired periungual fibrokeratoma occuring beneath the proximal nail fold. A 0.5 X 0.3 cm sized, firm nodule was found beneath the proximal nail fold and at its distal portion longitudinal ridging of nail plate was found. Histopathological finding showed marked hyperkeratosis and acanthosis in the epidermis and thick collagen bundles were predominantly oriented in the direction of longitudinal axis of the tumor.
