Abstract

In this article, we report on 4 cases of a dome-shaped nodule on the dorsum of the finger, which had been present since birth and slowly enlarged. On light microscopic examination, these nodules showed similarities to verrucous hemangioma. However, they were characterized by distinct clinical features and proliferation of dermal connective tissue. We consider these tumors to be a variant of verrucous hemangioma and propose to term them digital verrucous fibroangioma.
