A 12-month-old boy with a localized verrucous tumor.
A 12-month-old boy was admitted suffering from a localized pad-like thickening of tissue affecting the area of his right hand joint. First affection of skin was detected at age of 6 months, when a red macula was noted. The parents were now afraid of a viral or malignant disorder. The lesion completely resolved by the second birthday without medical intervention.
