Acquired digital fibrokeratoma is a rare, benign tumor that mostly occurs on the fingers and toes and may appear to be a supernumerary rudimentary digit. It generally affects adult men and appears as a dome-shaped papule although it can also be elongated or pedunculated. Trauma is believed to be a t...

description Acquired digital fibrokeratoma is a rare, benign tumor that mostly occurs on the fingers and toes and may appear to be a supernumerary rudimentary digit. It generally affects adult men and appears as a dome-shaped papule although it can also be elongated or pedunculated. Trauma is believed to be a triggering factor in some cases. We report a male patient with an acquired digital fibrokeratoma on a finger, shaped like a cutaneous horn, and a history of minimal repeated trauma and spontaneous remissions not previously described in the literature.
