Abstract
Myxomas are benign neoplasms of uncertain origin and etiology. First described by Virchow in 1863, they are derived from primitive mesenchymal structures and feature components of the umbilical cord. More recently, in 1995, Takahashi et al., through extensive research confirmed the fibroblastic and histiocytic origin of the tumor. We present a case in a female infant whose outcome and follow-up are discussed as well as a literature review in order to discuss many features of this rare pathology.
