Tegumental angiomyxoma-neurothekeoma (TAN syndrome)[1] is a syndrome, an acronym, and eponym[citation needed] proposed by Malaysian ophthalmologist of Chinese Descent, Tan Aik Kah (b. June 1975).[1] Angiomyxomas are associated with LAMB (lentigines, atrial myxomas, muco-cutaneous myxomas, and blue naevi) syndrome,[2] NAME (nevi, atrial myxoma, myxoid neurofibromas, and ephelides)[3] syndrome and Carney syndrome (atrial, cutaneous and mammary myxomas, lentigines, blue naevi, endocrine disorders and testicular tumours).[4]
TAN syndrome is characterized by multiple superficial angiomyxoma and neurothekeoma confined only to the skin (tegument).[1] TAN syndrome may be used to describe myxomas confined to the skin without visceral involvement.[citation needed]
