Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia associated with intramuscular myxomas: Mazabrauds syndrome

Abstract

Mazabraud's syndrome, though uncommon, is reported in creasingly frequently. It represents an entity readily recognisable radiologi cally on MR imaging. Awareness of the syndrome, particularly when the myxoma is solitary, can prevent misdiagnosis of intramuscular myxo mas (especially when large) as ma lignant mesenchymal tumors con taining myxoid tissue. We review the 34 cases previously reported in the literature and include a recent case from our center.
