POLYOSTOTIC FIBROUS DYSPLASIA ASSOCIATED WITH INTRAMUSCULAR MYXOMAS -MAZABRAUDS SYNDROME

Mazabraud's syndrome, though uncommon, is reported increasingly freque ntly. It represents an entity readily recognisable radiologically on M R imaging. Awareness of the syndrome, particularly when the myxoma is solitary, can prevent misdiagnosis of intramuscular myxomas (especiall y when large) as malignant mesenchymal tumors containing myxoid tissue . We review the 34 cases previously reported in the literature and inc lude a recent case from our center.
