ABSTRACT
Fibrokeratoma is a benign tumor of the nail. It is an acquired injury that develops from a keratotic epidermal collar that surrounds its base. They are benign, asymptomatic skin tumors, generally small in size, firm in consistency, encapsulated and with a pearly gray surface layer. They have an unknown etiology. Morphologically, they appear as a hemispherical neoformation completely covered by normal skin and are generally asymptomatic. Unusually, we can find them as multi-lobed or multi-branched lesions. Its diagnosis is mainly clinical, supported by the pathological report of the lesion after its surgical excision. The present paper presents a clinical case of a surgical excision of a fibrokeratoma showing it as a good treatment alternative that offers a definitive, simple and uncomplicated solution for the patient.
