Abstract
Superficial Acral Fibromyxoma is a rare tumor of soft tissues. It is a relatively new
entity described in 2001 by Fetsch et al. It probably represents a fibrohistiocytic
tumor with less than 170 described cases. We bring a new case of SAF on the 5th toe
of the right foot, in a 43-year-old woman. After surgical excision with safety
margins which included the nail apparatus, it has not recurred (22 months of follow
up). We carried out a review of the location of all SAF published up to the present
day.
