Solitary myxomas without other manifestations of Carney's complex usually arise within the skeletal or cardiac muscles, and less commonly in the intestine, pelvis and subcutis, and very rarely in the skin. Solitary cutaneous myxomas (SCM), more descriptively called solitary superficial angiomyxomas, are uncommon tumours having characteristic histological findings. They occur most commonly on the trunk, leg, head and neck, and more rarely at acral sites of adults. They are characterized histologically by a well-defined, hypocellular, myxoid tumour with many vascular components in the dermis or subcutaneous fat. We report a case of solitary skin myxoma sitting on the scalp of a young child.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
