Abstract
Superficial angiomyxoma is a rare benign multilobulated cutaneous tumor, comprised of a prominent myxoid matrix and numerous blood vessels. It usually located on trunk, head and neck or lower extremity. Scrotal superficial angiomyxoma is extremely rare. We report a case of superficial angiomyxoma on the scrotum of a 69-year-old man.
