Myxomas are benign tumours of mesenchymal origin. We describe the first reported case of paraspinal juxta-articular myxoma. Juxta-articular myxomas show increased cellularity and distinction from cellular myxoma is required. The differential also includes malignant myxofibrosarcoma. For patient prognosis and management it is essential to separate these entities. Complete surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment as local recurrences may occur.

Juxta-articular myxoma (JAM) is a rare soft tissue tumour predominantly composed of mucinous tissue and usually found around large joints. We report a 73-year-old woman with a 5-year history of a soft tissue mass in the thenar eminence of the right wrist who presented to our department. An initial diagnosis of a ganglion cyst was made using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the jellied content of the mass by aspiration.

Introduction: Myxoma, a benign and uncommon tumor, is primarily characterized by undifferentiated spindle cells and a myxoid matrix with muscular infiltration. While the intramuscular form is predominant, the juxta-articular variant is rare, especially in the foot. Juxta-articular myxomas had a heightened risk of recurrence post-surgical excision, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies.

Myxomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumors. Soft tissue myxomas are divided into myocardial, intramuscular, juxta-articular, superficial, aggressive, and nerve sheath myxomas. Although benign, myxomas have site-specific biologic behavior and syndromic associations, which can influence prognosis and management.
