Pleomorphic acquired digital fibrokeratoma: A novel clinicopathologic entity

Leo L Wang et al. J Cutan Pathol. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

A 26-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of a hyperkeratotic growth from the left index finger. Histopathology was consistent with an acquired digital fibrokeratoma with changes of a pleomorphic fibroma. Lesional cells were negative for CD34, Rb, and p53, and were positive for FXIIIa. We introduce the pleomorphic acquired digital fibrokeratoma as a novel clinicopathologic entity.

Keywords: acquired digital fibrokeratoma; pleomorphic fibroma.
