A myxoma is a rare benign tumor of the heart. Myxomata are the most common primary cardiac tumor in adults, and are most commonly found within the left atrium near the valve of the fossa ovalis. Myxoma may also develop in the other heart chambers. [1] The tumor is derived from multipotent mesenchymal cells. [1]
Myxoma is a rare, benign stromal tumor of mesenchymal origin often confused with other conjunctival stromal tumors. Conjunctival myxomas are thought to originate in Tenon's capsule and can masquerade as conjunctival lymphoma , lymphangioma , ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), or amelanotic melanoma .
Myxoma virus was the first virus intentionally introduced into the wild with the purpose of eradicating a vertebrate pest, namely the European rabbit in Australia and Europe. The long-term failure of this strategy has been due to natural selective pressures on both the rabbit and virus populations, which resulted in the emergence of myxomatosis ...
A myxoid tumor is a connective tissue tumor with a "myxoid" background, composed of clear, mucoid substance. [1]Atrial myxoma. This tumoral phenotype is shared by many tumoral entities:
Cutaneous myxoma appears as a little, slowly expanding dermal or subcutaneous lump that typically affects adults' heads and necks. [3] Alopecic lesions have been reported, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] characterized by hair tufts overlaying the lesion or even hypertrichosis . [ 6 ]
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a clinical condition caused by cancerous cells (mucinous adenocarcinoma) that produce abundant mucin or gelatinous ascites. [1] The tumors cause fibrosis of tissues and impede digestion or organ function, and if left untreated, the tumors and mucin they produce will fill the abdominal cavity.
Country star Morgan Wade opened up about a recent health decision. The "Psychopath" singer, who is releasing an album of the same name in August, spoke to Page Six at London’s Highways Festival ...
The odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumor arising from embryonic connective tissue associated with tooth formation. [1] As a myxoma , this tumor consists mainly of spindle shaped cells and scattered collagen fibers distributed through a loose, mucoid material.
