Myxolipoma is an uncommon type of mesenchymal tumor. It is a lipoma admixed with abundant mucoid substances and is considered to be a lipoma with a high degree of myxoid change. We present a rare case of a benign mesenchymal tumor with a lipomatous and myxoid component. An 86 year old male patient presented with the chief complaint of swelling on the left side of the neck. Ultrasonography of the swelling was indicative of cystic swelling with benign etiology. Magnetic Resonance Imaging revealed a well-defined complex lobulated lesion along the anterior and the superior aspect of the left sternoclavicular joint in the subcutaneous plane. Aspiration cytology was suggestive of a mesenchymal tumor. Thereafter the swelling was excised and histological examination revealed features of myxolipoma. The postoperative course was uneventful with no evidence of recurrence two years after the surgery.
