“…Fifteen articles, reporting in details the experience with 24 patients, were identified and included in the present review ( 1 , 3 , 9 , 10 - 21 ). Two cases (8.3%) were peripheral MFs and 22 (91.7%) were central tumors.…”

Purpose: The aim of this work is to report a review of the literature concerning epidemiology, clinical and radiographic features as well as treatment of odontogenic myxofibroma (MF). Methods: The PubMed database was searched using the following keywords: “odontogenic myxofibroma”, “odontogenic fibromyxoma”, “myxofibroma of the jaw” and “fibromyxoma of the jaw”. Results: Fifteen articles reporting the experience with 24 patients were identified. Male/female ratio was 1:1.4 and the average age was 29.5 years. The most frequent location was the mandible. In 66.7% of the cases the radiographic appearance was a multilocular radiolucency. Swelling was observed in 13 patients (92.86%), varying degrees of pain in 5 (35.71%) and paresthesia in only one patient (7.14%). Six out of 24 patients (26.09%) were treated with radical surgery and 17 (73.91%) with a conservative approach. In two out of 21 cases (9.52%) a recurrence was reported. Conclusions: MF is an extremely rare tumor and no agreement exists on the causes of its development. According to the present review, the choice of treatment should depend on variables such as localization, presence of a primary or of a recurrent lesion, age, general medical conditions and aesthetic needs of the patient. Key words:Odontogenic myxofibroma, myxofibroma of the jaw, odontogenic tumors, oral surgery, oral pathology.

“…Here, we report a case of high-grade extremity MFS with a synchronous mesenteric LMS. The synchronous development of multiple primary sarcomas of different histopathology is extremely rare [17] and very few cases have been reported in the literature [4,18,19]. In their review of 5505 sarcomas, Grobmyer et al [20] reported only for 2 patients (0.04%) who presented with synchronous soft tissue sarcomas of distinct pathology.…”

“…Each cycle of chemotherapy was followed by G-CSF prophylaxis. Radiologic images of the metastatic lesion, both 18 FDG-PET and abdominal CT scans, were taken after the final cycle. The malignant mass in the right lower abdomen had no significant changes in size (5.2 × 5.0 cm) or FDG uptake (SUV max = 15.3) from what was previously noted.…”
