Unusual presentation of solitary cutaneous myxoma

Abstract

fig. 1 Solitary, flat to slightly elevated, hyperkeratotic nodule on the right sole, clinically mimicking a callus. fig. 2 A well-circumscribed dermal tumour composed of myxoid stroma within which variably sized vessels and stellate-shaped cells were embedded (H&E ×40).

Solitary Cutaneous Myxoma in a Child: Rare Entity

“…SCM has been described as a "hairy flesh colored nodule" or as a "soft, lobulated nodule" [1]. Over the years, only a few cases have been reported of cutaneous solitary or multiple cutaneous myxomas without systemic features [1,2].…”

“…SCM has been described as a "hairy flesh colored nodule" or as a "soft, lobulated nodule" [1]. Over the years, only a few cases have been reported of cutaneous solitary or multiple cutaneous myxomas without systemic features [1,2]. Multiple cutaneous myxomas have generally been attributed to the Carney complex [4], NAME [5], or LAMB [6] syndromes.…”

“…Solitary cutaneous myxoma (SCM), sometimes referred to as superficial angiomyxoma because of its vascular component, is relatively rare. They usually occur as an asymptomatic nodule with slow growth on the head, neck, and trunk usually in adults [1,2]. Rarely, they locate at the acral level [2].…”
