title: Giant tumour of the heel: acquired fibrokeratoma.
abstract: Fibrokeratoma is a rare benign invasive tumour usually located on the digits. We report a 35-year-old patient with a giant acquired fibrokeratoma of the heel. Despite its large size and unusual location, the tumour was microscopically benign and was successfully excised.
