Myxosarcoma are tumors of fibroblast origin that characteristically produce myxoid matrix, resembling mucus, containing mucopolysaccharides. Myxosarcoma develops commonly as cyst‐like masses filled with mucoid fluid. They are rare and mainly occur on the chest or limbs. Myxosarcomas have also been reported in the heart, eye, spinal canal, temporomandibular joint, brain, and bone. Biologically, they behave like any STS, with aggressive first surgery after diagnosis being the treatment of choice (Dennis 2008; Foale et al. 2003; Kirby et al. 2014; Levy et al. 1997; Manfredi et al. 2015; Parslow 2016). Pulmonary metastasis of a myxosarcoma in a dog has been reported (Headley et al. 2011).
