Left atrial myxoma  An ultrastructural study.

This comparative analysis of the characteristic ultrastructural features specific for intramuscular myxoma, myxoid liposarcoma, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma, myxoid variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, and myxoid neurilemmoma is based on our own studies of 52 cases. In spite of the histologic resemblance frequently observed, these tumors can be easily distinguished on the basis of cytoplasmic and extracellular features by electron microscopy. The value of electron microscopy in the diagnosis of myxoid tumors of soft tissues lies mainly in its potential to provide additional information concerning the cell types involved in the neoplastic process and their line of differentiation.
