- Myxomas
- Atrial myxoma
- Odontogenic myxoma
- Cutaneous myxoma
- Aggressive angiomyxoma
- Chondromyxoid fibroma
- Nerve sheath myxoma (neurothekeoma)
- Angiomyofibroblastoma
- Myxoid liposarcoma
- Lipoblastoma
- Myxofibrosarcoma
- Pleomorphic adenoma
- Plexiform angiomyxoid myofibroblastic tumor
