[Multiple isolated cutaneous myxomas].
BACKGROUND
Cutaneous myxomas are rare. They are more often single; when they are multiple, they may be one of the component of the Carney's syndrome.


METHODS
We report a case of multiple and isolated cutaneous myxomas arising at 19 year-old. Diagnosis was confirmed by histologic studies. Examination failed to reveal other cutaneous or visceral features.


CONCLUSIONS
The multiplicity of cutaneous myxomas is an essential element for diagnosis of Carney's syndrome; other components and notably atrial myxomas can appeared over time. Normal visceral explorations don't eliminated the diagnosis, and follow-up including screening echocardiography must be ensured before concluding, as in our case, as multiple and isolated cutaneous myxomas.
