ABSTRACT
Deep palmoplantar warts (Myrmecia) are frequently tender papules or plaques caused by HPV-1. Myrmecia are usually misdiagnosed as paronychia or digital mucous cysts. They occur not only on the palms and soles but also on the lateral aspects and tips of the fingers and toes. We report a rare case of deep palmoplantar wart occurring on proximal nail fold, unusual site of right 5th finger in an 11-year-old girl.
