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.
