Aggressive digital papillary adenoma: a case report.
Aggressive digital papillary adenoma has only been identified as an entity within the past six years. Only forty patients have been reported in the literature with this lesion. The lesion is found three times more commonly on the hands than on the feet. The lesion typically enlarges slowly and is asymptomatic. Patients in half of the reported cases have experienced local recurrence after initial removal. The authors present a case of aggressive digital papillary adenoma of the foot.
