Ok, if EMA is negative then I agree with Romualdo, cellular digital fibroma.

I was also thinking cellular digital fibroma (probably a spectrum of lesions with superficial acral fibromyxoma).

Agree. I also think this is a cellular digital fibroma.

My Diagnosis:

[b]-- "CELLULAR" DIGITAL FIBROMA[/b]
[indent=1][b]COMMENT: [/b]I think that this lesion is best described as a "cellular" digital fibroma and it tends to meet the basic growth pattern requirement and immunostaining characteristics described in the literature. The differential is with a superficial acral fibromyxoma, which tends to show increased interstitial mucin, but can have close similarity to the "cellular" digital fibromas. Cases in the literature have shown an indolent course and two of the patients with followup described in one of the articles there was no evidence of persistent disease, and 12 of 14 patients did not return for followup.[/indent]
