Two lesions keep popping up in my head:  reticular perineurioma and glomus tumor. But this tumor in some component seems an adnexal tumor, and I know glomus tumors may sometimes be mistaken for adnexal tumors. The intimate relationship of glomus cells to the vessels in fig 7/8 could be a clue. So my first spot is Subungueal Glomangiomyoma.

Interesting case: can I add myoepithelial to the differential

The tumor appears to have some lumen which are surrounded by a relatively uniform epithelioid cells, best seen in pictures 7 and 8. The stroma appears myxoid. The question is whether the lumen represents ducts or vessels. If they are ducts, I would consider a mixed tumor in the differential diagnosis. If they are vascular lumen, I would think of myxoid glomus tumor. I guess immunohistochemical studies would help.

I think reticular perineurioma fits better. Difficult!

Good suggestions. My thought was myoepithelioma/mixed tumour.

Thank everyone for the insightful discussion.  This is a challenging case, particularly making diagnosis on pictures.  This is an indeed glomus tumor, with unusual myxoid changes. The tumor cells are positive for SMA.
