Abstract
Intramuscular myxomas (IM) are rare benign tumors of mesenchymal origin. These tumors have a high myxoid content and a nonspecific radiologic appearance. Here we describe the case of a patient with an IM in an infrequent location; within the obturator externus muscle. A singular approach was utilized for the resection of this tumor in such rare location.Despite IM being benign tumors, patients may require a surgical excision due to the difficulty of differentiating these tumors, with unreliable imaging features, from other myxoid soft tissue masses. Keywords: Intramuscular myxoma, Myxoid neoplasm, Obturator externus
