REVIEW OF NASA FIBROMYXOMA: Aggressive Behaviour?
(Case Report)
Rr. Suzy Indharty
Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Sumatera Utara University/
Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Sumatra-Indonesia
Background: Myxomas are rare benign tumors arising from mesenchymal tissues throughout the
body. These tumors are usually seen in the atrium of the heart and the jawbone. Involvement of the
skull base with intracranial extension is extremely rare, and only a few cases of primary intracranial

myxomas have been described in the literature. This article presents a rare case of primary myxoma of
the nasal bone. Methods: The patient underwent a skull base surgery with a pre-diagnosis of possible
fibromyxomas. The tumor pathology revealed a diagnosis of myxoma with bone and meningeal
involvement. Despite the debulking surgery, the tumor showed a local recurrence in five month. A
second debulking surgery in piece meal was required. In the article, the etiology, histological and
radiological findings as well as treatment options of this rare entity were briefly discussed under the
highlights of the relevant literature. Such a localization and intracranial extension of myxomas is
extremely unusual in clinical practice; the diagnosis therefore requires a high degree of suspicion and
detailed histopathological examination. The differential diagnosis frequently includes
chondrosarcomas, chordoma, metastatic tumors of the skull, hemangiopericytoma, meningioma and
other neoplasms of the dura and skull base in this location.
KEYWORDS: Myxoma, Skull base, Temporal bone, Neoplasm.
INTRODUCTION
Myxomas are benign tumors of primitive
mesenchymal tissue, and are usually found in the
heart, skin, certain bones and genitalia.1 Myxomas
are locally invasive, benign mesenchymal neoplasms
with odontogenic, osteogenic, or soft tissue origin.
Facial myxomas probably account for less than 0.5%
of all paranasal sinus and nasal tumors. These

tumors may be primary or embolic from an
underlying cardiac myxoma. Primary myxomas of
the head and neck are rare lesions in clinical
practice, and usually involve the maxillofacial
skeleton. Myxomas are rare in children under 10
years of age. Although this tumor is reported most
frequently in the mandible for the general
population, it has rarely been reported in the
mandible in children
