A tumor consisting of muscular tissue, either striated (Rhabdomyoma, M. striocellulare) or unstriated (Leiomyoma, M. laevicellulare). The former occurs as a congenital growth, the latter in structures which already contain muscular fibres, especially the uterus (where they form the so-called fibroids), prostate, alimentary canal, and skin. They are benign, and frequently undergo mucous degeneration or calcification. M. telangiectodes, a tumor consisting of a coil of vessels surrounded by a reticulum of muscular fibres.
