Intramuscular myxoma is a benign soft tissue tumor that can be cured by simple excision without recurrence, though it must be differentiated from malignant sarcomas.
Intramuscular myxoma had been confused with other malignant soft part sarcoma, that is, liposarcoma, myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma and chondrosarcoma because of clinical and pathological resemblances to those of malignant tumors. Then entity and existance of intramuscular myxoma are disputed in the clinicians and pathologists.We reported our cases with review of literatures and discussed the clinical and pathological features of this entity.
