Abstract

Fibrokeratoma is a benign fibrous tumor which usually arises in fingers and toes. Tumor size is usually small, around 3-5 mm. We report a giant acquired periungual fibrokeratoma of the thumb in this study. The size of the tumor is 40 × 25 × 21 mm(3). Clinical and histopathological characteristics of acquired fibrokeratoma are also reviewed.
