Surgical excision of a rare submandibular soft tissue myxoma yields no recurrence after 7 years.
Why the study?
Myxomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors in the head and neck region that are difficult to preoperatively diagnose due to lack of characteristic radiographic features.

Surgical excision of a rare submandibular myxoma resulted in no recurrence at 7 years follow-up.
Hayashi et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Soft tissue myxoma of the submandible (n=1). Surgical excision was evaluated on Tumor recurrence. Surgical excision of a rare soft tissue myxoma in the left submandibular triangle resulted in no recurrence after 7 years of follow-up.
