“…Enucleation or curettage are associated with a high incidence of recurrence but may be considered for palliation in patients unwilling or unable to undergo resection, or for recurrences [18,19]. Conservative management for recurrent lesions followed by closed monitoring over the time has been proposed as has curettage with cryotherapy [20]. In spite of local recurrences, the overall prognosis is good, and metastases do not occur.…”

This is a case report of an unusual odontogenic myxoma with calcifications, one of three reported in the literature. It had a typical radiographic appearance although it presented in an older patient. The presence of osteocementum-like calcification raises other differential diagnoses but does not in and of itself mitigate the diagnosis. The patient has not shown recurrence 14 months after resection and 11 months after reconstruction and continues to be closely monitored.

“…15 The consideration of the clinical history of rapid growth with invasive behavior, radiographic features, young age, and association with the surgical aspect of a gelatinous tissue in myxomas when compared to the COF can help distinguish the two. 16 The histological abundance of collagen and greater celullarity also favors the diagnosis of COF. 4 Now the question arises, what came first "Hen or egg?"…”

mor, incidence rate is approximately 0.07 new cases per million people per year [7,8].All reports generally agree that the tumour frequently presents in the second or third decades of life [8][9][10].Most common clinical characteristics of odontogenic myxoma are swelling of the jaws with only few patients complaining of pain, paraesthesia and ulceration, 28% for pain and 56% for swelling [11].Several studies indicating that there is a higher rate of tumour incidence in the mandible than the maxilla [12][13][14][15], and almost occurring in the premolar and molar region of both jaws and rarely crosses the midline [12,16,17].Cortical expansion and perforation are common findings; however, maxillary myxomas often extend into the sinus [18]. The adequate management of Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a challenging problem against the high risk of recurrence.The aim of this paper is to report a case of odontogenic myxoma that affected the left maxilla focusing especially on surgical management. Case ReportA 42-year-old female was referred to our department with a complaint of a growing swelling in the area of the canin and premolar molar in his left maxilla that had been noticed a few weeks before. Upon admission, she noticed a swelling measuring about the size of a peanut in the gingiva of upper premolar tooth. That lesion had been excised by a dentist and the histopathologist con- AbstractOdontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign, locally invasive and aggressive, non-metastasizing neoplasm of the jaw bones. This article presents a rare case of odontogenic myxoma occurring in the maxilla of a 42-year-old female patient with review of the literature emphasizing a huge controversy regarding the surgical management.
