SUPERFICIAL ANGIOMYXOMA OF THE NECK WITHOUT ASSOCIATED CARNEY'S COMPLEX: A RARE CASE REPORT

Superficial angiomyxomas are rare benign soft tissue tumour usually solitary and predominantly involving the dermis and subcutis. We report a case of 21 years old male who presented with a history of swelling on the left upper anterolateral aspect of neck, measuring 3x2 cm with irregular surface, non-tender, mobile and firm in consistency, fixed to the skin but not to the underlying structured. No lymph node was palpable. There was no evidence of any of the components of Carney's complex at the time of presentation. Provisional diagnosis was made as Pleomorphic adenoma by FNAC. Wide local surgical excision was done. Histopathology examination revealed to be superficial angiomyxoma. Here, we present a case of superficial angiomyxoma with a review to its rarity and difficulty in diagnosing and distinguishing from other soft tissue tumour of the skin.
