Mandibular odontogenic myxoma in a paediatric patient

Abstract: Odontogenic myxoma (OM) are benign, locally aggressive tumours that are rarely found in the paediatric maxillofacial region. OMs derive from mesenchymal odontogenic tissue. We describe the management of a 3-year-old girl who presented with a large right-sided mandibular lesion. Her treatment included conservative excision, curettage and peripheral ostectomy. A literature review was performed which calls into question the dogmatic practice of resection with 1 to 1.5 cm margins. Treatment approaches to the OM co… Show more

“…Considerando el comportamiento localmente agresivo, es difícil establecer una guía definitiva de tratamiento quirúrgico en población pediátrica, y se debe considerar crecimiento, función y estética craneofacial 11 . El manejo conservador de esta patología en niños se relaciona con una baja recurrencia y menor morbilidad.…”

“…El manejo conservador de esta patología en niños se relaciona con una baja recurrencia y menor morbilidad. La literatura muestra una tendencia a realizar cirugías radicales en adultos, mientras que para los pacientes pediátricos se recomiendan métodos conservadores como la enucleación y curetaje perilesional 11 . Según Kadlub y cols.…”

“…Clinically, odontogenic myxoma is a painless, slow-growing, benign but locally aggressive lesion that displaces and/or resorbs its adjacent structures including teeth roots and cortical bone. This lesion can advance into paranasal sinuses and zygomatic process of the maxilla as well [5,16,22]. Unorthodox cases of rapidly expanding odontogenic myxoma of the jaw have been reported [23,24].…”
