Abstract
- Deep palmoplantar warts (Myrmecia), which are induced by human papilloma virus type I (HPV-1) commonly occur on the palms and soles, but occasionally are found on the lateral aspects and tips of the finger and toes. We met 12-year-old girl, who presented with round shape hyperkeratotic erythematous to brownish colored papule on the Achilles tendon area. The skin lesion was considered clinically as a verruca vulgaris, but confirmed finally as myrmecia by histopathologic findings. It is very rare and interesting case, which is presented in unusual site.
