“…According to the literature, benign bone tumors are more common in younger individuals (8). In this study, the mean age of patients with benign bone tumors was found 35.8 years that is younger by comparison with the mean ages found as of other tumors.…”

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the data belonging to patients who were diagnosed with benign or malignant soft tissue and bone tumors and tumor-like lesions evaluated by musculoskeletal tumor study group of Trakya University Faculty of Medicine in between January 2013 and June 2017 and the relationship between the frequency of benign, malignant bone and soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions, with the patients' age and gender. Methods: The data of 687 patients who were evaluated by the musculoskeletal tumor study group of Trakya University Faculty of Medicine between January 2013-June 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. All of the data was analyzed by using SPSS. Chi-square analysis was used to obtain categorical data in order to point out the distribution of age and gender of patients with musculoskeletal system tumors and tumor-like lesions. Results: The number of patients over the period from January 2013 to June 2017 was 687. The number of patients who were evaluated by biopsy and acquired histopathologic confirmation of their condition was 341. The mean of patients' ages was 44.3±21.4 (4-92). Among 341 patients, 106 (47.1%) patients were female and 119 (52.9%) patients were male. The mean of females' ages was 43.7±20.4 (4-92). The mean of males' ages was 44.7±22.4 (5-90). Conclusion: Benign bone and soft tissue tumors were more common than malignant tumors. Benign bone tumors were predominantly seen in young adults. Our results was consistent with the literature however due to some patients who did not need a pathological sampling, our sample size was smaller than intended. With better archived information, more consistent results could be obtained in further studies.

“…Intramuscular myxoma usually occurs in patients 50-60 years of age, somewhat more often in women 5 , most commonly affecting the muscles of the thigh. The tumor is rarely located in the intermuscular planes and more often in the muscle tissue itself 2 .…”

“…The incidence of intramuscular myxoma is around 1 case in 1,000,000 inhabitants 4 . Due to the hypocellularity of the lesion, excisional biopsy is indicated (instead of fine needle aspiration cytology), while complete excision is almost always curative 5 . We presented a patient with an asymptomatic intramuscular myxoma diagnosed and treated at a tertiary care center in Podgorica, Montenegro.…”

Intramuscular myxoma of a thigh: A case report

Introduction. Myxoid lesions may present as benign, locally invasive, or malignant tumors. The incidence of intramuscular myxoma is nearly 1 case in 1,000,000 inhabitants. Case report. A 73-year-old man presented to our clinic with a painless, subcutaneous tumor of the adductor region of the left thigh. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic tumor with thin septae located in the adductor muscles. The tumor was extirpated in toto, with the histopathological confirmation of an intramuscular myxoma. Conclusion. This example may serve to increase the awareness of a successful intramuscular myxoma treatment among surgeons and radiologists in small countries.

“…When assessing cartilaginous tumours, radiographs can be helpful in revealing areas of calcification, soft-tissue shadowing and bony destruction [38,39]. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide useful information about the size and location of a tumour as well as its proximity to other anatomical structures.…”
