title: [Intramuscular myxoma. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Having observed one case of intramuscular myxoma, the authors made a review of the literature of this rare localization. This benign soft tissue neoplasm, is well characterized by its usual latency. Physical examination is not very specific and must be completed by computed tomography scan. The surgical treatment realizes a wide excision with clear surgical margins. Diagnosis is based on histological examination. Neither metastatic spread, nor recurrence is observed.
