Abstract

Superficial acral fibromyxoma (SAFM) is a rare soft tissue tumor most often located in the ungual region of the fingers and toes. This tumor was first described in 2001, and since then very few cases have been reported. We present the case of a 35-year-old male with a SAFM located in the toe, with involvement of the nail and erosion of the distal phalanx. The lesion was surgically removed, and the histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of SAFM. The differential diagnosis must be established with other myxoid tumors and with those lesions showing a predilection for the distal portions of the limbs. After 2 years, the patient remains disease free, with no disability of any kind.
