Abstract

Intramuscular myxoma (IM) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of the head and neck region. The current study reports a case of a 45-year-old man who presented with a painless neck mass. Imaging showed involvement of the levator scapulae and scalene muscles. Core needle biopsy was consistent with intramuscular myxoma. Surgical excision was performed and follow-up for 30 months showed no recurrence. The present study includes a systematic review of head and neck IMs, with a summary of the clinical and demographic param­eters of all reported cases in the head and neck region. Surgery was curative in 28 of the 29 published cases, as well as in the current case (96.7%), with the lone recurrent tumor cured following re‑resection. Females constituted 57% of the cases and the mean age was 49.7±20.4 years. Although uncommon, IM should be considered in the differential diagnosis of deep neck masses, and surgical excision is the treatment of choice with a low risk of recurrence.
