The microscopic findings reported fulfill Stout's criteria for "myxoma". Stout observed ten myxomata of bone and collected sixteen cases from the literature. Most of them occurred in the jaws, mainly in the mandible, and the rest in the long and flat bones, metatarsals, and phalanges. As to age distribution, Stout's table showed that the tumor may develop at any age.
