Soft-tissue masses on the anterior ankle result from a broad range of underlying processes, often presenting a diagnostic challenge.

We present a case of an exceptionally rare malignant cutaneous adnexal tumor, highlighting the importance of adherence to fundamental biopsy principles for diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal lesions.
