Intramuscular Myxoma-A Case Report

Dr Mahendra Singh, Dr Tejasvi Sharma

Abstract :

 

Introduction

Intramuscular myxoma is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor. Myxomas most commonly occur in the heart. They may occur less frequently in aponeurotic tissues, bone, genitourinary tract, subcutaneous tissue and skin.

Case presentation

The case described here is a 47–year–old man who presented with the complaint of a swelling in his right arm. A preoperative magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lobular contoured mass lesion in his deltoid muscle. The mass was marginally excised and pathology revealed intramuscular myxoma.

Conclusion

Intramuscular myxoma of the deltoid muscle is a very rare benign tumor. In the differential diagnosis, reactive lesions, myxoid nodular fasciitis and low –grade myxoid sarcomas should be kept in mind, upon which the treatment should be planned
