“…In the absence of malignant features and given the benign nature of intramuscular myxomas, the decision for non-surgical management in this case was made, emphasizing the role of a multidisciplinary team in determining the optimal treatment strategy. This approach aligns with current literature advocating for conservative management when feasible, avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention and potential morbidity associated with resection [3,5].…”

“…The occurrence of an intramuscular myxoma within the pterygoid and masseteric muscles is an extraordinary rarity, as evidenced by the limited reported cases in the literature [2][3][4]. The deep-seated location of the pterygoid muscle poses diagnostic challenges, as clinical manifestations may be subtle, leading to delayed recognition.…”

“…IMs are slow-growing, benign masses that typically affect large skeletal muscle groups such as the thigh, shoulder and buttock, and thus seldomly appear in the head and neck region 8. Fewer than 30 adult cases of head and neck IM have been documented in the literature, most commonly involving the muscles of mastication and cervical paraspinal muscles 9–13. Other reported locations of IM within the head and neck include the geniohyoid, hyoglossus, sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles 14–17.…”
