Acquired digital fibrokeratoma (ADFK) is a benign tumor. Clinically, it usually presents as skin-colored, slow-growing firm fibrous projection with a characteristic hyperkeratotic collarette at its base. It has a predilection for the periungual tissue. Some clinical variations have been described according to its macroscopic appearance and relation to the nail apparatus. The authors present 4 cases of unique ADFK expanding over the whole width of the nail.

“…However, these lesions occurred not only on the fingers but also on the proximal hand, toes, sole, and one in the prepatellar region. For this reason, Verallo suggested that the entity might more appropriately be called an acral fibrokeratoma [4] . We have collected some case information about the disease from articles published over the past 15 years ( Table 1).…”

Acquired digital fibrokeratoma (ADFK) has typical characteristics and occurs most frequently on the fingers. The size of the tumor is usually less than 1 cm in diameter. We report a case of a typical ADFK, along with a review of the literature. A 76-year-old man presented with a two-year history of a slow-growing keratotic tumor on the edge aspect of his right hand ring finger. A literature search was conducted to identify published case reports of ADFK. Data on patient demographics, size and location of the lump, treatment, and follow-up were collected from each case report. This case is of interest because of the rarity of ADFK. Additionally, we have emphasized the importance of ruling out other causes of abnormal growths and considering fibrokeratoma during differential diagnoses.

“…Many of these lesions are highly vascular. [6] Simple excision offers an effective cure. A rudimentary supernumerary digit is an important differential diagnosis as it has both clinical as well as histological resemblance.…”
