Abstract
Acquired fibrokeratoma is a rare, benign fibroepithelial tumor that typically affects the hands and feet but has also been
described on elbows, knees, and ankles. Involvement in other areas is uncommon. It usually presents as a solitary, pedunculated
lesion and occurs more frequently in men than in women, with no apparent cause; however, trauma may be involved.
This case report describes an acquired fibrokeratoma located in the posterior cervical region, which is an atypical location
[1,2].
