Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a rare, benign, slow-growing, soft-tissue tumor commonly located in the acral regions, with a predilection for the great toe, developing from the nail unit. Because of its nonspecific features and rarity, clinical diagnosis is difficult. In this article, we present a case of superficial acral fibromyxoma located in the nail unit with new dermatoscopic and radiologic findings that have not been previously reported in the literature.

Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is an uncommon, slow-growing, benign, soft tissue tumor of unclear pathogenesis, typically located at the subscapular region of elderly people. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Though many patients are asymptomatic, ED can cause local deformity and symptoms such as periscapular pain or discomfort. Herein we report a case of a 65-year-old woman with painful ED. Clinical features, radiodiagnostic, intraoperative, and pathologic findings, and a brief review of the literature are performed.

Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a rare, slow-growing soft tissue tumor, which is commonly located in the periungual and subungual regions of the fingers and toes in adults. To date, fewer than 50 cases have been reported worldwide. Microscopic examination reveals a moderately circumscribed, nonencapsulated tumor situated in the dermis, which may also extend into the subcutis. The neoplasm consists of a moderately cellular proliferation of stellate and spindle-shaped fibroblast-like cells embedded in a myxocollagenous stroma. Mast cells are easily identified throughout this lesion. Multinucleated stromal cells may also be present, but nuclear atypia and mitotic figures are rare. The tumor shows immunoreactivity for CD34, epithelial membrane antigen, CD99, and less frequently, CD10. Superficial acral fibromyxoma has a benign behavior but may persist or recur if inadequately excised. Therefore, complete excision and close follow-up are advised.

Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a relatively rare benign slow-growing soft-tissue tumor, first described by Fetsch’s group [<i>Hum Pathol</i>. 2001;32:704–14]. Since then, around three hundred publications have concerned this relatively new entity. The tumor involves peri- and subungual regions of fingers and toes in middle-aged adults with slight male predominance. This acral fibrous tumor is poorly known, and in certain cases, histology results may suggest myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma, which carries a completely different prognosis. In this article, we discuss the clinicopathologic features of this acral fibrous tumor through the report of 5 cases including 1 particular clinical presentation that revealed as a retronychia in a young woman.
