• Odontogenic myxoma
• Cutaneous myxoma
• Intramuscular myxoma
• Myxoid hamartoma
• Aggressive angiomyxoma
• Myxoid leiomyoma
• Chondromyxoid fibroma
• Myxoid neurofibroma
• Nerve sheath myxoma (neurothekeoma)
• Myxolipoma
• Angiomyofibroblastoma
• Myxoid leiomyosarcoma
• Myxoid liposarcoma
• Lipoblastoma
• Myxofibrosarcoma
• Myxoid cortical adenoma
• Pleomorphic adenoma
• Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma
• Plexiform angiomyxoid myofibroblastic tumor
• Myxoid plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor
• Angiomyxolipoma (vascular myxolipoma)
• Parachordoma
• Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma
