Abstract
Superficial angiomyxoma (SAM) is a rare acquired benign neoplasm. It may be sporadic or associated with Carney’s complex. Typical locations for SAM are the head, neck, and trunk. It usually presents as a skin-colored papule or sessile lobulated nodule. Large pedunculated forms are less common. We describe a sporadic massive pedunculated SAM of the thigh occurring in a 75-year-old man and provide a comprehensive summary of SAM characteristics.
