Abstract
|
|
|
|
Myxomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms composed of undifferentiated stellate cells in the myxoid stroma and can affect the heart, subcutaneous tissues, bone and skin. Myxomas arising from muscle tissue are called intramuscular myxomas, and account for 17% of all myxomas. Intramuscular myxomas are most commonly located in the large muscles of the thigh, shoulder, and buttocks.However, intramuscular myxomas of the head and neck region are rarely reported. In this study, we report a case of intramuscular myxoma arising from the paraspinal space of the head and neck region.
