Periungual warts are a common problem in dermatology. We present a 69-year-old man with hand warts. The fingertip of the right thumb showed soft tissue defect with warts extending to the finger stump. We applied Superficial X Ray Therapy combined with Tretinoin to treat our patient. The warts were completely removed 26 days after treatment completion. Fingertip soft tissue defect caused by periungual warts have rarely been seen in clinic and this is the first clinical report concerning about this situation, which was successfully treated.
