“…Similar growths have been reported in the subungual and periungual [13,14] regions, some of which were reported in patients with tuberous sclerosis and leprosy [15,16] . These growths are referred to as Koenen tumours or garlic clove fibromas.…”

“…Another report described an ADFK accompanied by a pyogenic granuloma [28] . In most reported cases, acquired digital fibrokeratoma presents on the fingers [29,15,30,14] and toes, while it occasionally occurs on the lower lip, nose, elbow, pre-patellar area, nail bed, periungal area [13,31] and heel [5,32,33] . Additionally, ADFK does not show spontaneous regression [26] .…”

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.

“…AUFK are benign fibrokeratotic tumors. [ 3 ] The classical presentation of AUFK is an asymptomatic single-skin colored nodule with a hyperkeratotic tip emerging from the proximal nail fold or directly from the nail bed. The pathogenesis is not yet validated; however, the role of trauma, presence of factor XIIIa positive dermal dendrocytes, preceding streptococcal infection, and human papillomavirus infection[ 4 ] have been postulated as the etiological factors.…”
