It is most commonly found on the digits; hence, it is also known as digital fibromyxoma. It was first described by Fetsch and colleagues in 2001, documenting the propensity to grow near the nail unit or subungually. Since then, there have been hundreds of cases in the literature. In the largest case series to date with 124 cases by Hollmann and colleagues, the tumor arose adjacent to nail structures in 97% of finger tumors and 96% of toe tumors.
