Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Superficial Acral Fibromixoma is a benign and rare tumor of the soft tissues, also it called digital fibromyxoma. It is a painful, slow growing solitary mass that is frequently observed in the fingers, toes and nail beds. Local recurrence is often associated with a positive margin. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 54-year-old male patient had admitted to local state hospital with complaint of a two-lobed mass lesion in the 5th finger of the right hand. The lesion was closely adjacent to the 5th finger flexor tendon. The specimen of the patient undergoing excisional biopsy was sent to our pathology department. CONCLUSION: Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma is one of the rare benign myxoid neoplasms. Its treatment is surgical excision. We reported the case for its rarity and to keep in mind in the acral region neoplasms.
