digitate wart, a fingerlike horny projection that arises from a pea-shaped base. It is a benign viral infection of the skin and the adjacent mucous membrane. It may disappear spontaneously as an immune response develops in the host, or it may require treatment, such as by electrodesiccation and curettage. Also called filiform wart.
