Description
Summary:Cutaneous angiomyxomas are myofibroblastic neoplasms with locally aggressive behaviour and a high risk of recurrence. We describe a case of a solitary cutaneous angiomyxoma presenting on the nasal dorsum of a 28‐year‐old man, excised with M ohs surgery using permanent section control and repaired with an advancement flap. Histology showed myxoid nests of bland CD 34‐positive and vimentin‐positive stellate and spindled cells in the deep dermis and abundant thin‐walled blood vessels. An echocardiogram, performed to rule out the possibility of a cardiac myxoma with cutaneous embolisation, was normal.
