J Cytol. 2015 Jan-Mar;32(1):39-41. doi: 10.4103/0970-9371.155234.

Abstract

Superficial acral fibromyxoma (SAF) is a rare, distinctive benign soft tissue lesion that often involves the fingers and toes, with the great toe being the most frequently affected site. We report a case of SAF diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed by histopathology. The pre-operative cytological diagnosis will help the surgeon to plan for a wider excision that prevents recurrence.

Keywords: Fine needle aspiration cytology; great toe; soft tissue; superficial acral fibromyxoma.
