Image in Medicine

Soft fibroma or fibroma molluscum is a benign tumor developing from connective tissue. It can affect all organs. We report clinical, dermoscopic, paraclinical and histological images of a soft fibroma of unusual nail location. This is a 43-year-old patient, who presented to the consultation for a small soft, pedunculated nodule, of flesh-colored, painless, located at the level of the proximal paronychium of the thumbnail of the left hand. She presented no pain, no sensory deficit, no local inflammation and there were no other locations. The x-ray was normal. Because of aesthetic discomfort reported by the patient, a surgical excision was carried out, under local anesthesia, with anatomopathological study which confirmed the diagnosis.
