Fibroma of tendon sheath is a benign tumor that presents as a small subcutaneous nodule that slowly increases in size.[1] This is a notably uncommon condition. According to case report literature, the tumors often have a multinodular growth pattern, with individual nodules being composed of bland, slender, spindle-shaped cells (myofibroblasts) in a dense, fibrous matrix.”[2] A common microscopic finding is the presence of elongated, slit-like blood vessels.[2] The lesions nearly always arise in the distal portions of the extremities.[2] They often occur on the fingers, hands, toes, or feet. Although they are benign, they may recur after surgical excision in up to 40% of people.[1]

Although they may be regarded as a tumor of the skin, the lesions arise from tendons and aponeuroses in superficial sites, and are therefore properly classified in the category of soft-tissue tumor.[2] The World Health Organization in 2020 reclassified these tumors as a specific, benign tumor type in a broad category of soft tissue neoplasms termed fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors.[3]

The biological nature of fibroma of tendon sheath is not known, but the category appears to comprise a number of different pathological processes.[2] It is considered that about one-third of the lesions in this category may be acral variants of the entity nodular fasciitis.[2]
