History
An otherwise healthy 57-year-old woman presented with a 4-year history of a pedunculated nodule on the lateral border of the right foot. The growth had slowly enlarged over the years. The patient denied any previous local trauma or significant pain, except when wearing closed shoes. Physical examination revealed a 30 x 28 x 12 mm non-tender, flesh-colored, pedunculated firm nodule with a hyperkeratotic surface that protruded from the border of her right foot (Figure 1).
