Myxoid tumor of the oral cavity with features of superficial angiomyxoma: Report of a case

Intraoral Superficial Angiomyxoma of the Upper Alveolus: Report of a Unique Case

“…Angiomyolipoma is composed of a mixture of thick-walled blood vessels, smooth muscle, and adipose tissue found mostly in the kidney [4]. Neither smooth muscle nor adipose tissue were seen in the tumor tissue of the current case.…”

“…Superficial angiomyxomas are generally immunoreactive with vimentin and CD34, which was consistent with the present case. Treatment is by localized surgical excision, with careful followup owing to its high rate of local recurrence between 20% and 40% [2–4]. Superficial angiomyxomas have an overall good prognosis as this lesion stays superficial, without affecting deeper structures [2, 4].…”

Myxoma of Oral Soft Tissue

“…Intraoral soft tissue myxoma is an extremely rare lesion and only few reports are available in the literature. [2][3][4][5][6] A case of peripheral myxoma of the left alveolar ridge in a 35-year-old female is reported here.…”

Soft Tissue Myxoma- A Rare Differential Diagnosis of Localized Oral Cavity Lesions

“…Common sites of occurrence are in the skin or subcutaneous tissues, the genitourinary tract, the gastrointestinal tract or in organs such as the liver, the spleen or even the parotid gland. Intraoral soft tissue myxoma is an extremely rare lesion and only a few reports are available in literature [2][3][4][5][6].Myxomas were first described by Virchow in 1871 [7]. The intraoral soft tissue myxoma is an extremely rare lesion.…”

“…Peripheral myxomas and true soft tissue myxomas of the oral cavity is an extremely rare lesion and recently three more cases have been reported [4][5][6]. Occasionaly, it is misinterpreted as malignant as it may be difficult to differentiate myxoma from other tumours with myxoid stroma [8].…”
