Intramuscular myxoma
Diagnosis in short

Intramuscular myxoma.

LM myxoid stroma with bland stellate cells and/or bland spindle cells, intramuscular, usu. hypervascular and hypercellular
Subtypes hypercellular, hypervascular
LM DDx myxoid lesions
Site Soft tissue

Intramuscular myxoma is an uncommon benign intramuscular myxoid lesion.

General

  • Rare.[1]
  • Usually do not recur.[2]
  • Present as a mass.[2]

Gross

  • Usually thigh muscles.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[1][3]

  • Myxoid stroma - key feature
  • Bland stellate or spindle cells.
    • Typically paucicellular. †
    • Usually with scant vascularity. ‡
  • Contained within skeletal muscle - essential.

Note:

  • † A hypercellular variant exists.
  • ‡ A hypervascular variant exists.
