Multiple Myxomata of Soft Tissue Associated with Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia

Abstract

Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with associated myxomata of soft tissue has been reported rarely. In most cases, the patient appears first with fibrous dysplasia and many years later presents with soft-tissue tumors. This is a report of a 57-year-old woman--an unusual case of soft-tissue myxomas with fibrous dysplasia. This case suggests that a patient developing myxomatous tumors of the soft tissues might be evaluated for the possibility of associated fibrous dysplasia.
