Cutaneous myxomas are rare, benign, connective tissue tumors composed of stellate cells set in a loose mucoid stroma containing delicate reticulin fibers running in various directions. They are also called angiomyxomas to reinforce their vascular component. These lesions have been recognized as part of Carney complex. We report an 11‐year‐old boy affected by disseminated cutaneous angiomyxomas since the age of 2, without any other component of Carney complex.
