Abstract
|
|
|
Superficial angiomyxoma (SAM), often referred to as cutaneous myxoma, is a rare benign myxoid tumor of soft tissue. It commonly manifests as a single mass, but is occasionally detected as multiple tumors in Carney¡¯s complex. Nowadays, however, SAM is regarded as an independent cutaneous tumor regardless of whether Carney¡¯s complex is present. SAM occurs most commonly on the trunk, limbs, head, and neck. Herein we report a rare case involving a 21-year-old woman who presented with multiple tumors consisting of a single giant pedunculated mass surrounded by multiple nodules on her left labium major. Histological analysis revealed that the tumors were composed of widely scattered bland spindle-shaped or stellate cells with ill-defined cytoplasm and variably sized vessels within a basophilic myxoid stroma. The tumors were completely removed by total excision and primary closure with an excellent cosmetic outcome.
