“…19 In Fetchs' original study, of the 21 (of 37) cases that had follow-up, only one recurred, two persisted or progressed after local excision, and none metastasized. 19 Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans on the other hand is locally aggressive with a very real potential for local recurrence if incompletely excised. 13 Differentiating superficial acral fibromyxoma from dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, especially its myxoid variant, is not a diagnostic dilemma if the biopsy is deep where the storiform pattern and infiltrative architecture pathognomonic of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans are recognized.…”

“…Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a relatively uncommon, distinctive entity with a predilection for the fingers and toes of adults. 19 Unlike dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, superficial acral fibromyxoma follows a benign biologic course. 19 In Fetchs' original study, of the 21 (of 37) cases that had follow-up, only one recurred, two persisted or progressed after local excision, and none metastasized.…”

“…In up to one in five cases, the lesion may recur. 20,21 Microscopic examination reveals a dermal or subcutaneous proliferation composed of bland spindle and stellate cells within a myxoid or collagenous stroma with prominent vessels and mast cells. Cells are arranged in random, loose storiform and fascicular growth patterns ( Figure 6).…”
