Abstract
Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a very rare soft tissue tumor. Fetsch et al first described the condition in 2001. It often occurs in the fingers and toes and has slow-progressive features. Since being described, a few cases occurring in the great toe have been reported. The present study indicated a case of a 37-year-old male kickboxer with a history of a rapid-growing lump under the nail of his left great toe with bone erosion. The patient was suspected to have a soft tissue tumor under the nail, such as a glomus tumor, as a differential diagnosis. However, a malignant soft tissue tumor as a differential diagnosis could not be ruled out because of the observed bone erosion. The patient underwent surgical excision, and pathologic analysis revealed superficial acral fibromyxoma. Twenty-four months after the treatment, he had no complaints or functional disorder and no recurrence was noted. Although an unusual diagnosis, surgeons should be aware of this tumor, which requires complete surgical excision and follow-up to detect recurrence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of superficial acral fibromyxoma with bone erosion in a great toe.
