A Rare Case Of Intramuscular Myxoma In An Adult Dromedary Camel

A rare case of intramuscular myxoma was reported in a female dromedary camel at the anterior side of hock joint of hind limb. Grossly, the tumour had 6 inch diameter and was covered by hairless dark coloured skin. The cut surface showed solid white area with oozing of blood. The histopathology of the tumour mass showed stellate to spindle shaped fibroblasts loosely arranged in an abundant myxoid matrix with few areas showing eosinophil infiltration. Cellularity was low and mitoses were rare. Based on gross and microscopic features, the neoplasm was diagnosed as an intramuscular myxoma.
