Paratesticular Myxoma

Abstract

We report a case of paratesticular myxoma. These tumors, which arise from mesenchymal tissues, occur in a variety of sites, the most common being subcutaneous tissues and skeletal muscles but they rarely have been reported to originate in the paratesticular region. The differential diagnosis of other mesenchymal neoplasms of the paratesticular area is discussed.

Myxoma of urinary bladder (case report)

“…Although myxoma commonly occurs in skeletal and cardiac muscles (50% of benign cardiac tumors are represented by myxoma, 75% of cases of cardiac myxoma occurs in left atrium, followed by the right atrium (18%), the right and left ventricles (3% in each), and the valves (1%). Multiple myxoma represents 5% of the cases, half of which are of bilateral origin, on the other hand, the recurrence rate of skeletal myxoma is exceptional while in cardiac myxoma is rare and observed in 3% of patient due to inadequate resection or malignant change, and many recurrences are at a different site and multifocal disease occurs frequently in the familial setting), 4 rarely occur in the genitalia like paratesticular region, 2 the genitourinary tract is an unusual location for this tumor; only one case had been reported in the literature which was missed diagnosed for sacro-sciatic hernia and the treatment was unsuccessful by herniorraphy on the contrary of our case in which the diagnosis was in a good time such as the correct treatment. 3 Many cases have been reported in the kidney; whereas, nephrectomy has been reported due to suspicion to malignancy, in the follow up of the patients there had been no sign of malignancy, such as metastasis and recurrence.…”

“…It is usually occurring in variable locations and they are not of the aggressive type, they affect the skeletal and cardiac muscles. 2 …”

Angiomyofibroblastoma‐like tumors (cellular angiofibroma)

“…Mesenchymal neoplasms of the genital tract occur predominantly in the vulva, perineum, and pelvis of women but have been described in men associated with the spermatic cord and inguinal hernias, 2,3 the scrotum, 4,5 and the perineum 6 . Some of these neoplasms occur with or without myofibroblastic differentiation or as a spectrum of spindle cell tumors.…”
