Various types of tumor can occur in the subungual space, including glomus tumors, subungual exostosis, hemangioma, epidermal cysts, and malignant tumors. While fibromatosis can occur at various sites throughout the body, it is very rarely seen in the toe. Here, we are the first to report a case of superficial fibromatosis mimicking a glomus tumor in the subungual space of the second toe. The presentation of this condition shows the possibility of encountering uncommon superficial fibromatosis in the distal phalanx of the toe, and suggests that superficial fibromatosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of a glomus tumor in the toe.

Background: Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a noncancerous, benign tumor of soft tissue with an unidentified origin. Occurrences of abnormalities on the palm are less frequently documented.

Supraspinous fossa is an important location in the periscapular region, which houses important structures such as the supraspinatus muscle and the suprascapular nerve. The supraspinous fossa can be affected by pathologies involving its contents (supraspinatus muscle and suprascapular nerve), osseous boundary (scapular body, distal clavicle, and spinous process), or superficial soft tissue covering it. In this pictorial review, we describe the detailed anatomy of the supraspinous fossa.

Article Synopsis
- Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare, low-grade malignant soft-tissue tumor commonly found in children and young adults, often misdiagnosed due to its atypical presentation.
- A case involving a 12-year-old boy with a painless mass on his back led to a CT scan revealing a sizable soft tissue mass, which was completely excised.
- Pathological analysis confirmed AFH with specific diagnostic features, and after five years of follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence, marking a successful outcome.
A potential conundrum in dermatopathology: molecularly confirmed superficial ossifying fibromyxoid tumors with unusual histomorphologic findings and a novel fusion.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, New York, NY, 10065, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue tumor often found in subcutaneous tissues, characterized by bland ovoid cells and metaplastic bone.
- The tumors typically pose diagnostic challenges when they present with unusual characteristics, necessitating the detection of specific gene fusions for accurate diagnosis.
- This study discusses six cases of OFMT with atypical features and emphasizes the importance of molecular testing in confirming diagnoses, highlighting a case with a novel gene fusion (EPC1::SUZ12).

Article Synopsis
- Palmar or plantar fibromatosis is a benign condition that can impair hand or foot function, and while surgery is common, radiation therapy (RT) can also be effective in managing symptoms.
- A study involved three patients receiving RT for fibromatosis, using custom-designed 3D-printed boluses created from CT imaging to enhance treatment effectiveness.
- The results showed the printed boluses had very minimal shape deviations, good density accuracy, and no significant issues during treatment, indicating that 3D printing could improve RT dosimetry for this condition.
