title: Myxoid tumours in the temporal bone.
abstract: Myxoid tumours have the essential common feature, that they are difficult to remove radically because of their gelatinous consistency. Only one previous report describes a myxoid tumour--a myxoma--located to the temporal bone. This paper presents two such tumours in the temporal bone, a myxoma and an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. The clinical and histological features of these tumours and the operative treatment are described and discussed.
