ABSTRACT
Solitary superficial anigomyxoma, sometimes referred to as solitary cutaneous myxoma, is a relatively uncommon benign myxoid tumor of soft tissue. Clinically, the lesions present on the head, neck or trunk of adults as slowly-growing, solitary, asymptomatic nodules or polyps ranging in size from 1 to 5 cm. Histologically, solitary superficial angiomyxoma consists of ill defined, basophilic myxoid lobules containing bland spindle-shaped or stellate cells and abundant small blood vessels in the dermis, frequently involving subcutaneous fat. We herein report a case of solitary superficial angiomyxoma which developed in the auricular concha of a 31-year-old man.

Solitary superficial angiomyxoma gap (SSA), sometimes referred to as solitary cutaneous myxoma, is a relatively uncommon benign myxoid tumor of soft tissue. It is characterized clinically by slowly-growing, asymptomatic nodules on the head, neck, and trunk of adults. It is locally recurrent, but there have been no reports of metastatic spread. Histologically, SSA consists of the conglomerate of moderate-to-sparse cellular angiomyxoid nodules with scattered, small to medium-sized blood vessels in the dermis, frequently involving subcutaneous fat. We herein report a case of SSA which developed in the genital area of an 80-year-old woman.
