Abstract

Carney complex is a rare genetic disorder associated with a number of cutaneous lesions, especially cutaneous myxomas. We present a rare case of cutaneous myxoma (superficial angiomyxoma) with trichofolliculoma-like features in a patient with Carney complex, and explore how the associated histopathology provides critical context for elucidating the etiology of this benign neoplasm.

Keywords: Carney complex; adnexal neoplasm; cutaneous myxoma; superficial angiomyxoma; trichofolliculoma.
