    Area of Science:

    • Dermatopathology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Myxomas are rare neoplasms with limited documentation of subungual (under the nail) occurrences.
    • Digital myxomas, while uncommon, represent a specific subset of soft tissue tumors affecting the digits.

    Observation:

    • This report details a digital myxoma in a previously undocumented anatomical location within the digit.
    • The case involves a rare neoplasm presenting a diagnostic and clinical challenge due to its unusual site.

    Findings:

    • A comprehensive literature review was conducted to contextualize this rare presentation.
    • The study confirms the rarity of subungual myxomas and presents a novel location for a digital myxoma.

    Implications:

    • Simple surgical excision is presented as the primary and curative treatment modality for digital myxomas.
    • This case contributes to the understanding of digital myxoma distribution and reinforces established treatment protocols.
