In this study, we discuss the clinical, radiological, and histopathological characteristics of intramuscular myxomas (IMM), a rare form of benign soft tissue tumors. We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient presenting with a painless, non-inflammatory mass in the right thigh, which was mobile relative to both superficial and deep planes. Imaging, biopsy, and subsequent histopathological study established the diagnosis of intramuscular myxoma. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass, with a straightforward postoperative course. It is important to distinguish IMM from malignant tumors, such as soft tissue sarcomas, through comprehensive examinations including imaging and biopsy. The recommended treatment is surgery for complete excision of the mass, with an exceptionally low recurrence rate.
在本研究中,我们探讨了肌内黏液瘤(IMM)这一罕见的良性软组织肿瘤的临床、放射学及组织病理学特征。我们报告了一例47岁女性患者,其右大腿出现无痛性、非炎性肿块,该肿块在浅、深层面均可活动。影像学检查、活检及后续组织病理学研究确诊为肌内黏液瘤。患者接受了肿块的手术切除,术后恢复顺利。通过包括影像学和活检在内的综合检查将IMM与恶性肿瘤(如软组织肉瘤)区分开来很重要。推荐的治疗方法是手术完整切除肿块,复发率极低。
