Abstract
Acquired digital fibrokeratomas are a benign soft tissue tumor with typical appearance and anatomical locations. This lesion
generally occurs in middle aged males with common sites of occurrence in the digits of upper or lower extremities. Previous case
studies have reported incidences of this lesion appearing on heels of middle-aged males but are generally described as giant digital
fibrokeratoma based on the lesion’s diameter. This case report describes an acquired digital fibrokeratoma in a pediatric female
patient in an infrequent location.
