Abstract
Acquired digital fibrokeratoma is a rare benign tumor which was first named to describe digital lesions not present at birth, and histopathologically consistent with fibrokeratoma. It usually occurs in adults as solitary lesion and most frequent sites are the fingers and toes. Generally, the size of fibrokeratoma is small, usually 3~5 mm. Although the standard to define the term ‘giant' has not been established, in previous reports, the acquired digital fibrokeratoma larger than 1 cm have been reported as giant digital fibrokeratomas. Herein, we report a case of giant digital fibrokeratoma occurring on the left great toe.
