Abstract

Superficial angiomyxoma is an extremely rare subcutaneously placed myxoid soft tissue neoplasm. There are few case reports with fine needle aspiration cytological and histopathological findings available for this tumor because of its rarity. Here, we describe a case of superficial angiomyxoma in a 24-year-old girl who had a solitary left ear pinna mass without a Carney's complex at the time of presentation or at the end of two years of follow-up next to the surgical removal of the tumor. The clinical, cytomorphological, and histological findings, together with the immunohistochemical markers, in a case of superficial angiomyxoma are described in this rare case report for the first time in the English literature.
