[Superficial angiomyxoma on the sole of the foot].

Abstract

Superficial angiomyxoma is a rare, benign neoplasm consisting of spindle-shaped fibroblasts in a myxoid, vascularized stroma. Diagnostic clarification is usually based on histology and immunohistochemistry and is of particular importance depending on the clinical presentation, as malignant tumors may also be considered in the differential diagnosis. Herewith, we present a patient with a solitary, superficial angiomyxoma of the sole of the foot. Although it often occurs as an independent entity, it is recommended to exclude syndromes such as Carney complex.
