What about a CD34+ Glomus tumor with myxoid changes?

My differential is between digital superficial acral fibromyxoma vs superficial angiomyxoma. This case lacks epithelial component and neutrophils (usually seen in superficial angiomyxoma) but it looks hypocellular for superficial acral fibromyxoma, some report EMA positivity in acral fibromyxoma that could help with the distinction. And I dont know if im right but superficial angiomyxoma reported in fingers is quite rare (only found  2 articles that sadly i cannot read). I think is important to add after Reading a bit that the histological distinction of these entities does not have importance on treatment and prognosis: Both are treated with total excision and both can recur

I favour digital fibromyxoma, largely based on location.  As Raul said, superficial angiomyxoma is a tumour of the torso and head.

I was also struck by the lack of cellularity of the lesion. Also thought of a digital myxoid pseudocyst in addition to the d/d considered above.

I thought the glomus cells were not enough to make it a glomus tumor.  The focus I have photographed was the only focus.  I went with myxoma (or angiomyxoma).
