cutaneous myxoid tumors by Steve D. Billings
Differential diagnosis : cutaneous myxoid tumors
Myxoid or mucinous background change is a common finding in a wide variety of cutaneous tumors and other diseases.
Myxoid tumors often have overlapping features and may show significant heterogeneity from area to area within a given specimen and from individual case to case. As prognosis and treatment vary considerably between many of these entities, accurate diagnosis is essential.
Myxoid tumors include :
superficial angiomyxoma (cutaneous myxoma ),
superficial acral fibromyxoma (digital fibromyxoma ) ,
- dermal nerve sheath myxoma (conventional neurothekeoma ),
myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans ,
giant cell fibroblastoma ,
low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma ,
myxofibrosarcoma ,
myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma.
