Abstract

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a benign, slow-growing soft-tissue neoplasm that has a predilection for the peripheries. Although considered benign, its risk of recurrence warrants consideration in the radiological differential diagnoses of acral tumors. To our knowledge, there has been minimal literature studying the radiological features of this entity. We present a case report with a discussion focusing on its clinical and radiological findings.
