[Superficial angiomyxoma].
Superficial angiomyxomas are clinically variable, infrequent, benign skin lesions. They are usually located on the trunk, but can also appear on the lower limbs, head and neck. They are diagnosed histologically, and are characterized by the fact that they are poorly delimited, multinodular tumors, and by the presence of interstitial myxoid material with scanty cellularity. Treatment is through surgery, and local recurrence is possible. An associated Carney's complex must always be ruled out with superficial angiomyxoma. We present the case of a woman with a solitary, fast-growing superficial angiomyxoma.
