title: Superficial angiomyxoma of the external ear not associated with Carney's complex: a case report.
abstract: Superficial angiomyxomas are rare tumours and multiple tumours occurring in the external ear are invariably associated with Carney's complex. In the present study, a solitary superficial angiomyxoma was found in a 20 year old lady; and there was no evidence of any of the components of Carney's complex at the time of presentation or at the end of 2 years of follow-up, after the surgical excision of the tumour.
