Definition
A benign, painless soft tissue tumor that arises in a muscle, usually in a large muscle of the thigh, buttocks, shoulder, or upper arm. It is associated with point mutations of the GNAS gene. Grossly it is characterized by a gelatinous and lobulated cut surface. Morphologically it is composed of uniform spindled and stellate-shaped cells without atypia. The cells are separated by myxoid stroma. No recurrences have been reported.

Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
