Abstract

Myxomas of bone in the head and neck are rare tumors.  We present a 68 year old female with pain and epistaxis who was found to have the first reported case of a myxoma arising within the vomer bone.  Some atypical magnetic resonance imaging features are described, however, myxoma imaging features are often non-specific and typically evoke a benign differential diagnosis.  Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
