TAN syndrome


Tegumental angiomyxoma-neurothekeoma is a syndrome, an acronym, and eponym proposed by Malaysian ophthalmologist of Chinese Descent, Tan Aik Kah. Angiomyxomas are associated with LAMB syndrome, NAME syndrome and Carney syndrome.
TAN syndrome is characterized by multiple superficial angiomyxoma and neurothekeoma confined only to the skin. TAN syndrome may be used to describe myxomas confined to the skin without visceral involvement.

Case

Tan et al. reported a 10-year-old girl with multiple superficial angiomyxoma associated with neurothekeoma palpebrae. There was no evidence of visceral involvement. The lesions were excised with no recurrence during follow up.
