A myxoid tumor is a connective tissue tumor with a "myxoid" background, composed of clear, mucoid substance.[1]
This tumoral phenotype is shared by many tumoral entities:
- Myxomas
- 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
