Abstract

Soft tissue tumors of the digit are frequently benign but often pose diagnostic challenges. We report a rare case of fibro-osseous pseudotumor of the digit in a 42-year-old female presenting with a progressively painful, non-calcified mass. Radiographic imaging initially mimicked other soft tissue tumors, but MRI findings suggested a distinct diagnosis, confirmed by histopathology. Recognizing MRI features of fibro-osseous pseudotumor of the digit can prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgical interventions.

45-year-old female with fibro-osseous pseudotumor of the index finger. The clinical presentation of a bulging mass (arrowhead) is observed in the proximal ulnar part of the right hand’s index finger.
