Comparative dermatology: viral warts

This case demonstrates an unusual presentation of verruca vulgaris on the dorsum of the hands in a 53 year-old man with previous history of treated Hodgkin lymphoma. The spiculate, confluent and rough-surfaced papules, with slight desquamation and keratotic core are comparable to rock crystals.
