Os mixomas de tecidos moles são tumores benignos de diferenciação incerta, desenvolvem-se em tecidos moles somáticos como músculos, tecidos subcutâneos e dérmicos. Na cavidade oral, são extremamente raros. Histologicamente exibem células fusiformes e estreladas em estroma mixoide. Neste trabalho, é relatado um caso de mixoma de tecidos moles localizado na região da borda alveolar superior posterior, estendendo-se para o palato, acometendo paciente do sexo masculino de 34 anos de idade. Foi feita biópsia excisional da lesão e, seis meses após, houve recidiva. Destacam-se, ainda, os achados atuais relatados na literatura, com interesse de expandir as características pertinentes dessa lesão. Palavras-chave. Mixoma de tecidos moles; cavidade oral; rebordo alveolar; neoplasia benigna. Soft tissue myxomas are benign tumours of uncertain differentiation, arising in somatic soft tissues as muscles, dermal and subcutaneous tissues. In oral cavity they are extremely rare. Histologically, it showed spindle-shaped cells in a myxoid stroma. This paper relates a case of soft tissue myxoma at the right posterior superior alveolar ridge in a 34-year-old male. An excisional biopsy was made and presented with recurrence six months later. The current findings in the literature are also highlighted, in order to expand the peculiar characteristic of this unusual lesion.
