Abstract

Background: Verrucous cyst is an uncommon manifestation of human papilloma virus infection. Diagnosis is histopathological and characterized by verrucous changes in an epidermal cyst. This is a report of verrucous cyst in a seven (7) year old girl who had an asymptomatic nodule on her hand.


Case Report:  7-year old girl who had a nodule on the palmar surface of her left hand. A clinical diagnosis of foreign body granuloma was made. Biopsy and histopathology was consistent with a verrucous cyst 


Conclusion: The need for histopathological evaluation of skin growths is highlighted by this case report.
