Area of Science:

Dermatology
Pathology
Oncology

Background:

Superficial angiomyxoma is a rare cutaneous soft-tissue neoplasm characterized by a myxoid matrix and vascularity.
It commonly presents as a nodular lesion on the trunk, head and neck, or genital areas.

Observation:

This report details a unique case of superficial angiomyxoma.
The lesion occurred in an unusual digital location.
It exhibited transepidermal elimination, a feature not commonly associated with this neoplasm.

Findings:

The digital superficial angiomyxoma mimicked a digital myxoid cyst due to its presentation and transepidermal elimination.
Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of superficial angiomyxoma.

Implications:

This case expands the known clinical presentations of superficial angiomyxoma.
Recognizing transepidermal elimination in this context is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
It underscores the importance of differential diagnosis for digital lesions, distinguishing neoplasms from cysts.
