Intramuscular myxoma of the biceps brachii muscle: a case report

Abstract: Intramuscular myxoma (IM) is a rare benign tumour. It may occur at any age but most commonly occurs among older women. The preoperative diagnosis of IM is complicated. The diagnosis can only be definitively established by histopathological examination. The treatment of choice is radical surgical excision. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman with an IM of the biceps brachii muscle.

“…In comparison, the incidence of lipomas is 100 per 100,000 [ 5 ]. Due to this low incidence, in the literature, only a few retrospective studies and some single case reports are available [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. Current evidence is missing.…”

“…On computed tomography (CT) scan, it shows as a well-circumscribed soft tissue mass with higher attenuation than that of water and less than the surrounding muscles [14] . Furthermore, IM typically demonstrates a low signal intensity lesion on T1-weighted (T1W) images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted (T2W) images on MRI [13] . MRI is superior in characterization of IM MRI images obtained in our case report are in line with the typical presentation of IM on MRI.…”
