title: [Intramuscular myxoma. A case of myxoma of the spinal erector muscle].
abstract: A case of intramuscular myxoma, extended in the lumbar erector spinae muscles, is reported. This soft tissue tumor is rare, about one hundred observations are indexed in the literature. The clinical findings are nonspecific, magnetic resonance imaging reveals few characteristics, and finally a histological examination is required, after surgical removal, to pinpoint the diagnosis. Recurrence is uncommon, but a systematic follow-up is necessary.
