Musculoskeletal case 8. Mazabraud's syndrome--intramuscular myxoma associated with fibrous dysplasia.

چکیده
The association of fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxoma is a rare disease known as Mazabraud's syndrome. Both lesions tend to occur in the same anatomical region. The relationship between fibrous dysplasia and myxoma remains unclear, where an underlying localized error in tissue metabolism has been proposed to explain this occasional coexistence. Another example of this syndrome in a 52 year-old woman is reported. The patient presented with a soft tissue mass at the anteromedial mid part of the left thigh. After excision of the mass, three separate bone lesions were detected in her control MRI. The soft tissue mass was misdiagnosed as liposarcoma in another center, and the bone lesions were interpreted as metastasis. The hypocellularity and the indistinct vascular pattern of the lesion were consistent with myxoma. The Jam-Shidi needle biopsies of the osseous lesions were diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia. The recognition of this entity is important for appropriate management of the patient. Patients with soft tissue myxomas should be thoroughly examined for fibrous dysplasia. The greater risk of sarcomatous transformation in fibrous dysplasia with Mazabraud's syndrome should also be kept in mind.

Mazabraud's syndrome: case report and literature review
Mazabraud's syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the association of single or multiple intramuscular myxomas with fibrous dysplasia. Here, we present the first case of Mazabraud's syndrome visualized on 18F-FDG PET/CT with histopathological confirmation of the myxoma. Our case demonstrates a slightly increased FDG uptake (SUVmax 2.1) within the myxomas and a moderately to highly increas...

The association of intramuscular myxoma and fibrous dysplasia is a rare disease known as Mazabraud's syndrome. We present a case of Mazabraud's syndrome coexisting with a uterine tumor and resembling an ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT). This uterine tumor showed a high mitotic index and cytological atypia. To the best of our knowledge, the coexistence of the two different entities has not been ...

BACKGROUND Mazabraud's syndrome is defined as the association between fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxomas. The syndrome was first described in 1967 and, up until now, less than 100 cases have been reported worldwide. Here we report the association between this rare syndrome and thyroid cancer. When a malignant disease occurs in a patient affected by this syndrome, the differential diagn...

INTRODUCTION Mazabraud's syndrome is a rare but well-described disorder characterized by fibrous dysplasia in single or multiple bones associated with one or more soft-tissue myxomas. In this report, we describe what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first case involving an intra-osseous myxoma. This finding supports, and could provide new insight into, the pathological association between ...

Mazabraud's syndrome (MS) is a rare disease that is a combination of fibrous dysplasia and intramuscular myxomas. MS is a benign lesion and there is little data on the disease due to its low incidence. In the present study, the case of a 38-year-old patient who presented with a soft-tissue mass involving the masseter and swelling at the mandibular body and mandibular ramus is reported. Since th...
