The preputial skin graft (PSG) has many advantages when use as a full thickness skin graft to cover a defect over certain importance area. Herein, we reported a case of a rare vascular anomaly of thumb; Verrucous Hemangioma when a surgical excision was indicated, but the skin defect would have been too large to be directly closed, therefore the foreskin was taken as a full-thickness skin graft to cover the cutaneous defect of the thumb. The procedure was taken in a single stage with the ritual circumcision. The graft intake was favourable and provided a good functional repair with satisfactory aesthetic characteristic. Similar cases have not been reported before in the literature or at least in author’s origin of country.<br /></p></p> ER -
