Fibrokeratoma is a benign fibrous tumor which usually arises in fingers and toes. Tumor size is usually small, around 3–5 mm. We report a giant acquired periungual fibrokeratoma of the thumb in this study. The size of the tumor is 40×25×21 mm3. Clinical and histopathological characteristics of acquired fibrokeratoma are also reviewed.
