AN INTRAMUSCULAR MYXOMA OF THE HAND

Abstract

Myxomas of the upper limb are rare and are classified according to their tissue of origin into tumours arising from periosteum, bone or soft tissues such as skin, fascia and muscle. In the literature, one case of intramuscular myxoma of the forearm has been reported. The current report describes the first intramuscular myxoma within the hand muscles.
