Abstract
Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor that arises in the distal extremities and favors the periungual and subungual regions of the digits. Superficial acral fibromyxoma are benign, however excision may be warranted due to the presence of complications and potential for extension and damage of nearby structures. Here we present a rare case of ossified superficial acral fibromyxoma.
