“…The lesion is benign, but it is locally aggressive causing bone perforation, root resorption, tooth displacement, and mobility. Unusual cases of rapidly expanding OM of the jaw have been reported [18][19][20]. The rapid growth is believed to be due to production of a mucoid ground substance by stellate tumor cells [19,21].…”

a b s t r a c tOdontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare benign neoplasm with locally aggressive behavior. We present an unusual case of OM as a rapidly expanding lesion in the mandible of a 62-year-old woman who underwent segmental mandibulectomy and primary mandibular reconstruction using a titanium plate. Histologically, we observed stellate and spindle-shaped cells lying loosely in abundant mucoid stroma. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for smooth muscle actin and vimentin and negative for desmin and p53. The patient was followed up for 24 months without a recurrence. Long-term follow-up is required due to the high risk of recurrence.
