Abstract

Myrmecia, a type of palmoplantar warts, are induced by human papilloma virus type 1(HPV1). They occur not only on the palms and soles, but also on the lateral aspects and tips of fingers and toes. Histologically, it is characterized by abundant eosinophilic inclusion bodies associated with HPV1 E4 gene products. We report two cases of myrmecia developing on the dorsum of finger.
