Abstract
- Acquired digital fibrokeratornas are uncommon, benign, acquired, firm, hyperkeratotic projectic projections, mostly arising at the finger, toe, and distal portion of extremity. We experienced a case of acquired digital fibrokeratoma arising the 4th tae in 37-year old male. Tumor mass was 2 X 1.5cm in size, round hyperkeratotic protruded mass. Histopathologically, the epidermis of the tumor showed compact hyperkeratosis, focal hypergranulosis, and irregular acanthosis. Thick collagen bundles and dilated capillaries were predominantly oriented in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lesion. After simple excision was done, a new lesion appeared 2 months later.
