Myxoid tumor

Connective tissue tumor composed of clear, mucoid substance

A myxoid tumor is a connective tissue tumor with a "myxoid" background, composed of clear, mucoid substance.[1]

Atrial myxoma

This tumoral phenotype is shared by many tumoral entities:

  • Myxomas
    • Atrial myxoma
    • Odontogenic myxoma
    • Cutaneous myxoma
    • Intramuscular myxoma
  • Myxoid hamartoma
  • Aggressive angiomyxoma
  • Myxoid leiomyoma
  • Chondromyxoid fibroma
  • Myxoid neurofibroma
  • Nerve sheath myxoma (neurothekeoma)
  • Myxolipoma
  • Angiomyofibroblastoma
  • Myxoid leiomyosarcoma
  • Myxoid liposarcoma
  • Lipoblastoma
  • Myxofibrosarcoma
  • Myxoid cortical adenoma
  • Pleomorphic adenoma
  • Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma
  • Plexiform angiomyxoid myofibroblastic tumor
  • Myxoid plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor
  • Angiomyxolipoma (vascular myxolipoma)
  • Parachordoma
  • Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma
