Abstract

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a recently described soft tissue neoplasm with a predilection for the tips of the fingers and toes. As such it must be included in the radiological differential diagnosis of soft tissue lesions eroding bone in this location. The radiological features of this distinctive tumour have not so far been described. We report two cases with radiological and histopathological features.
