Abstract

|
|
Background: Patients with undifferentiated masses on the finger are frequently encountered in the clinic. However, dermatology literature is scarce regarding these tumors.
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of digital benign tumors.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical photographs and medical records of 139 patients who visited Kangbuk Samsung Hospital for digital tumors confirmed by skin biopsy between January 2013 and August 2019.
Results: The mean patient age was 47.6 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1：1.27. The most common digital tumor was mucous cysts, accounting for 32.37% of the total number, followed by pyogenic granuloma (29.49%) and Masson’s hemangioma (7.19%). The most common digital tumors on the volar and dorsal surfaces were pyogenic granuloma (54.09%) and mucous cyst (55.12%), respectively.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that various digital tumors can occur. Further studies with larger patient groups are needed to better understand the incidence or site predilection of digital tumors.
