"Acral fibromyxomas are rare. Most tumours are seen in middle-aged adults, however, they can occur in a wide age range. There is a male predilection 1,3,4."
"On immunohistochemistry stains, tumour cells usually express CD34, CD99 and vimentin. Occasional positivity of epithelial membrane antigen and smooth muscle actin is seen. A loss of RB1 expression can be observed 1, 3-6."

"The treatment of choice is surgical excision. Local recurrence can happen in up to one-fourth of the cases, but are non-destructive and can be cured by re-excision. There are no reported metastases 1,3,4,6."
"lobulated structure with fascicular, whorled or storiform growth pattern"
"Acral fibromyxoma is a skin-based nonencapsulated fibroblastic proliferation leading to an infiltration of the subcutaneous tissue. They are characterised by lobular architecture with fascicular, palisading or storiform growth patterns 1,3."
"Acral fibromyxomas are usually found in an acral periungual and subungual location of the fingers and toes. On rare occasions, they might be seen in other areas of the extremities such as hands and feet ankles, wrists or lower legs and thighs 1,3-5."
