• 

  Fig. 1 A solitary skin-colored firm nodule on the middle phalanx of the left fourth finger.

• 

  Fig. 2 (A) A solitary well-circumscribed spindle-cell tumor in an admixture of fibromyxoid matrix in the dermis (H&E, ×12.5). (B) A characteristic alternating pattern of hypercellular myxoid and paucicellular fibrous stroma with an abrupt transition from one to the other. The tumor consists of bland, spindle-shaped cells and stellate cells with a swirling or fascicular growth pattern (H&E, ×100).
