Periungual myxoid neurofibroma.
A 34-year-old woman presented with a slow growing nontender nodule on her left index finger that had been present for 2 years. The tumor was excised and was histologically determined to be a myxoid neurofibroma. We report this case because of the rarity of both the tumor and its periungual location and to provide a review of the literature.
