Superficial Angiomyxoma (aka Cutaneous Myxoma)

Dermal myxoid nodular area with abundant blood vessels and scattered inflammatory infiltrate. Agree superficial angiomyxoma. Need to exclude Carney complex especially if younger.

Another diff could be an Achilles Tendon ganglion cyst...

I thought this was a cutaneous myxoma / superficial angiomyxoma and mentioned the association with Carney's complex. So far I've never confirmed a case that had Carney's. It had been reported as a cutaneous mucinous cyst but those are usually associated with a joint (ganglionic type) or related to local recurrent trauma. This lesion was not near a joint and I think recurrent trauma unlikely at the location (lack of lichenification etc.).

Nice classical case, thanks Richard for sharing. I have yet to see a case with Carney's too!
