ABSTRACT
Superficial acral fibromyxoma, also known as digital fibromyxoma, is a benign soft tissue tumor. The acral regions, including the palms, soles, fingers, toes, and nail units, are the commonly affected locations. The subungual region of the great toe is the most common site reported in current literature. The tumor is slowly progressive and benign in nature. Histology commonly reveals a fibromyxoid neoplasm with immunoreactivity to CD34 and CD99 markers.1,2,3 We present the case of a 39-year-old female with a nine-year history of repetitive digital trauma presenting with superficial acral fibromyxoma of the thumb-nail bed. Our case is unique due to the tumor location and the patient's prior long history of trauma to the tumor site.
