      A 36-year-old patient was seen 6 months after developing a lesion on the tip of the third finger (Figures 1A and 1B). Over the course of 3 months, the lesion had increased in size and become tender to the touch. The lesion was 3 × 3 mm, firm, and fixed to bone and soft tissue. There was no soft-tissue swelling or surrounding erythema.
