Acral fibromyxoma: a rare plantar nodule

BMJ Case Rep. 2022 Jun 24;15(6):e247565. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2021-247565.

Abstract

Acral fibromyxomas are benign tumours ranging in size between 0.6 and 5 cm, commonly found around the nailbed. The often asymptomatic presentation of acral fibromyxomas means that there is often a delay in their diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The objective of this paper is to present the unique case of a fibromyxoma present in the acral region, as well as a review of the literature.
