Acquired digital fibrokeratoma: a rare case study

Abstract

Acquired digital fibrokeratomas are a benign soft tissue tumor with typical appearance and anatomical locations. This lesion generally occurs in middle aged males with common sites of occurrence in the digits of upper or lower extremities. Previous case studies have reported incidences of this lesion appearing on heels of middle-aged males but are generally described as giant digital fibrokeratoma based on the lesion's diameter. This case report describes an acquired digital fibrokeratoma in a pediatric female patient in an infrequent location.
