A leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare malignant (cancerous) smooth muscle tumor. [1] The word is from leio- 'smooth' myo- 'muscle' and sarcoma 'tumor of connective tissue'. The stomach, bladder, uterus, blood vessels, and intestines are examples of hollow organs made up of smooth muscles where LMS can be located; however, the uterus and abdomen are the most common sites.

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: Myxomas. Atrial myxoma; Odontogenic myxoma; Cutaneous myxoma; Intramuscular myxoma; Myxoid hamartoma; Aggressive angiomyxoma; Myxoid leiomyoma; Chondromyxoid ...
A thin arborizing vascular network, a large myxoid stroma, mild to moderate cellularity with spindled to stellate cells with little or mild atypia, and the lack of nuclear pleomorphism or mitotic activity are among the histologic markers that are consistently present in cutaneous myxoma.

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.
Angioleiomyoma; Other names: Angiomyoma, vascular leiomyoma: Angioleiomyoma, smooth muscles encircling dilatated blood vessels Specialty: Oncology, rheumatology : Symptoms: Pain (with or without tenderness), slow-growing benign mass in the subcutaneous region of the extremities.
A histologic examination reveals stellate and spindled fibroblast-like cells proliferating moderately within a myxoid and/or collagenous matrix with prominent microvasculature. [7] There may be a hyperkeratotic overlaying epidermis. [8] [9] The tumor cells are distributed in a focally fascicular and loose storiform pattern. [4]
