Superficial angiomyxoma (Cutaneous myxoma) is a rare, distinctive, benign, dermal and subcutaneous tumour associated with a high risk of local recurrence but lack of metastatic potential. The tumor has a predilection for occurring in the perineum of middle aged females. Carney complex is manifesting major clinical complications, including angiomyxomas, lentigines, and a pituitary adenoma, which induced endocrine overactivity. We present one case of servical superficial angiomyxoma in a 50-year-old woman was treated by surgical excision without evidence of Carney's complex.
