Abstract
Observation:
Superficial acral
fibromyxoma is a rare, benign, soft tissue tumor which usually affects the
acral sites of hands and feet. It presents clinically as a slow enlarging
solitary nodular mass. Hereby, we present a 44-year-old Caucasian female
patient with a superficial acral fibromyxoma on the finger. The patient
complained of a painful swelling on the middle finger of her right hand. The
lesion was surgically removed for further histopathological evaluation. The
histopathological evaluation of the specimen revealed fibromyxoma. Although
superficial acral fibromyxoma is a rare entity in daily clinical practice, it
should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of slow growing tumors of
the periungual and subungual sites.
