Dear Editor,
The 20-year-old female, a farmer with no medical history or current medications, presented with a large discoid soft-tissue mass arising from the left antecubital fossa since childhood. It started as a pea-nut-sized verrucous swelling and slowly enlarged over the last one-and-a-half decades. She experienced occasional local itching but never had pain.

Primarily, inadequate elbow flexion and cosmetic disfigurement compelled her to seek medical consultation.
