Myxome juxta articulaire du poignet : à propos d’un cas

Juxta articular myxoma of the foot: An exceptional entity

“…The etiopathogenesis of juxta-articular myxomas is controversial, with traumatic causes and osteoarthritis frequently suggested [ 3 ]. Myxomas are classified into intramuscular myxomas, juxta-articular myxomas, deep angiomyxomas, and superficial angiomyxomas.…”

“…Both forms of myxomas, juxta-articular and intramuscular, exhibit similar macroscopic and histological characteristics. The location of the lesion and the higher recurrence rate in the juxta-articular form distinguish them [ 1 , 3 ]. The association of one or more intramuscular myxomas with fibrous dysplasia is very rare and constitutes Mazabraud syndrome [ [16] , [17] , [18] ].…”

“…The juxta-articular variant, rarer still, constitutes approximately 15 % of cases, and its localization in the foot is exceedingly uncommon [ 1 , 2 ]. The local aggressiveness of these tumors explains their considerable risk of recurrence after surgical excision, estimated at 34 % of cases [ 2 , 3 ]. This manuscript has been reported in line with SCARE's 2020 Criteria [ 4 ].…”
