Abstract
- We report a case of a 32-year-old woman with a myxoid neurofibroma occurring on the hyponychium of the 4th finger following repeated laceration. The tumor was histologically determined to be a myxoid neurofibroma. Myxoid neurofibroma may present as a sporadic lesion or in the context of neurofibromatosis 1. Although there is no predilection site of solitary lesion, occurrence on the hyponychium is rare. We report a case of solitary neurofibroma on the hyponychium of the 4th finger following repeated laceration.
