Condyloma acuminatum associated with odontogenic myxoma: a case report

Abstract

Condylomata acuminatum is a sexually transmitted infectious disease caused by human papiloma virus on the skin. The transmission is mainly by close contact with infected person and autoinoculation. In oral cavity the condition manifests as soft pink nodules which proliferate and coalesce rapidly to form diffuse papillomatous clusters of varying size. Odontogenic myxoma is a rare tumor of jaws which occurs in the tooth-bearing areas of the mandible and maxilla. It is an uncommon, benign, but locally aggressive neoplasm. This case report highlights a 17-year-old girl with two lesions in oral cavity with soft tissue growth on the palate which has been diagnosed as Condyloma Acuminatum, treated by surgical excision and a large swelling on the right side of the mandible in the same patient diagnosed as odontogenic myxoma where marginal resection was performed.

Odontogenic Myxoma: A Case Report and Retrospective Analysis of Five Cases

“…11 Reports describe the occurrence of myxoma in association with other conditions like tuberous sclerosis and condyloma acuminatum. 12,13 Radiographically, myxomas may be unilocular or multilocular mostly radiolucent lesions. Kaffe et al reported mixed appearance in 12.5% and radiopaque appearance in 7.5%.…”
