Skin myxoma

Introduction to cutaneous mucinous tumor Skin myxoma (cutaneousmyxomas) is a single, flesh-colored nodule that occurs in the face, trunk or limbs. Skin myxoma can also be used as one of the symptoms of Carney syndrome, in which the skin myxoma is a multiple skin color papule of less than 1 cm. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.05% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious complication:

Cause of skin myxoma

(1) Causes of the disease

The etiology of this disease is not clear, and may have certain correlation with environmental factors, genetic factors, dietary factors, and mood and nutrition during pregnancy.

(two) pathogenesis

The pathogenesis is still unclear. Pathological examination shows that a considerable number of nuclei are embedded in the mucinous interstitial. Many nuclei are not typical, and even atypical multinucleated giant cells may be present.

Skin myxoma prevention

You should first focus on and improve those factors that are closely related to our lives, such as quitting smoking, eating properly, exercising regularly, and losing weight. Appropriate exercise, enhance physical fitness, and improve your disease resistance. Anyone who follows these simple and reasonable lifestyle knowledge can reduce the chance of cancer. Therefore, pay attention to personal and environmental hygiene, avoid drug abuse, and pay attention to personal protection when working in a harmful environment.

Skin myxoma complications Complication

1. Infection refers to local tissue and systemic inflammatory reactions caused by the invasion of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites into the human body. A psychological infection is a way to cause the same emotions and actions of others. It is essentially the transmission and communication of emotions and plays a big role in interaction.

2. Distant metastasis means that the tumor cells invade the lymphatic vessels from the primary site, and the blood vessels or other pathways are taken to continue to grow, forming the same type of tumor as the primary tumor. This process becomes metastasis, and the formed tumor becomes Metastatic tumor or metastatic cancer. Metastasis is a feature of malignant tumors.

Symptoms of skin myxoma Common symptoms Mucus secretion into the nodules and pimples

The cutaneous myxomas are single-shot fleshy nodules that occur in the face, trunk or limbs. Skin myxoma can also be used as one of the symptoms of Carney syndrome.

Carney syndrome consists of two or more of the following symptoms:

1 cardiac myxoma (79%);

2 skin myxoma (45%);

3 breast mucinous fibroids (30%);

4 plaque skin mucosal pigmentation, including freckles and blue mites (65%);

5 primary pigmented adrenocortical disease (45%);

6 testicular tumors (56% of male patients);

7 pituitary growth hormone secreting tumors (10%), of which skin myxoma is less than 1cm multiple skin color papules, occurs in the ears, eyelids and nipples, freckles, facial, lip and genital mucosa, myxomas Malignant tumors are rare, called myxosarcoma, which occurs in subcutaneous fat and soft tissue tumors beneath it.

Examination of cutaneous mucinous tumor

Histopathology: There are quite a few nuclei embedded in the mucinous interstitial, many of which are not typical, and even have atypical multinucleated giant cells.

Diagnosis and differentiation of skin myxoma

According to the clinical manifestations, the characteristics of skin lesions and histopathological features can be diagnosed.
