AI Article Synopsis
- * A case of a 47-year-old female with a painless, mobile mass in her right thigh was diagnosed with IMM through imaging and biopsy.
- * Surgical excision is the recommended treatment for IMM, demonstrating a low chance of recurrence, making it crucial to differentiate these tumors from more serious conditions like soft tissue sarcomas through thorough evaluation.
Article Abstract
In this study, we discuss the clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics of intramuscular myxomas (IMM), a rare form of benign soft tissue tumors. We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient presenting with a painless, non-inflammatory mass in the right thigh, which was mobile relative to both superficial and deep planes. Imaging, biopsy, and subsequent histopathological study established the diagnosis of intramuscular myxoma. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass, with a straightforward postoperative course. It is important to distinguish IMM from malignant tumors, such as soft tissue sarcomas, through comprehensive examinations including imaging and biopsy. The recommended treatment is surgery for complete excision of the mass, with an exceptionally low recurrence rate.
