Myxoid tumors of the soft tissue encompass a group of heterogenous tumors that are characterized by the presence of abundant extracellular myxoid or chondromyxoid matrix material. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is variably used for diagnosing primary, recurrent, and metastatic myxoid soft tissue tumors. The spectrum of myxoid soft tissue tumors encountered in practice ranges from benign lesions such as simple ganglion cysts to high-grade malignant sarcomas such as myxofibrosarcoma. These myxoid tumors have clinical, cytologic, and histologic overlap. Therefore, making an accurate diagnosis by FNA alone is challenging. Despite this challenge, using a systematic cytomorphologic approach and ancillary studies, an accurate diagnosis is feasible in the majority of cases. This article provides a systematic approach to diagnosing myxoid soft tissue tumors by FNA along with a review of the literature.
