    This document describes acquired digital fibrokeratoma, a benign skin tumor that presents as a solitary, skin-colored, dome-shaped papule or tall fingerlike protrusion on the finger with hyperkeratosis. Microscopically, it shows a well-circumscribed, dome-shaped or narrow elongated papule with marked hyperkeratosis and acanthosis. The dermal core contains thick, vertically oriented collagen bundles between which are numerous capillaries, fibroblasts and thin elastic fibers.
