Introduction: superficial cutaneous angiomyxoma is a relatively recent individualization. It is a paucicellular, lobulated, poorly limited myxoid tumor containing numerous small blood vessels around which inflammatory elements, in particular neutrophils, are scattered. Case history: a 50-year-old patient with no previous medical history presented with an erythematous, ulcerated skin tumor on the left arm, measuring 5 cm long. A biopsy was performed, and the tumor was found to be a superficial angiomyxoma. The patient underwent surgical excision with 1 cm peripheral margins to avoid recurrence, and the loss of substance was closed in 2 planes. Postoperative follow-up was unremarkable. Conclusion: superficial angiomyxoma must be distinguished from other subcutaneous myxoid lesions. The sporadic form is characterized by its tendency to recur locally, especially in the case of associated epithelial components.
