Abstract
We describe a case of a 29-year-old male with a postaxial supernumerary digit of the ulnar aspect of the bilateral fifth digit. The patient had a growth of 0.5cm over the ulnar aspect of the proximal phalanx of the fifth digit of the right hand and 0.1cm over the ulnar aspect of the proximal phalanx of the fifth digit of the left hand with a broad base. X-rays of bilateral hands were sent. Suture ligation or surgical excision was recommended for the patient, but they were both rejected by the patient. Bilateral hands with supernumerary digits are a rare congenital defect. The differential diagnosis of digital fibrokeratoma should be used by doctors. Simple observation, suture ligation, or excision with skin sutures are examples of potential treatments.
