Objectives: To illustrate the characteristic features of odontogenic myxoma (OM) on CBCT. Methods: From 52 subjects with histopathologically diagnosed OMs, 18 subjects who underwent a CBCT examination were retrieved between May 2009 and April 2016. Features on CBCT images and clinical records were carefully observed and analyzed. Results: Characteristic features include: (1) fine and straight septa that were recognized to separate the tumour into triangular, square or rectangular spaces, which appeared as "tennis racket" or "honeycomb" patterns; (2) septa that frequently scattered to the borders of lesions and appeared perpendicular to the margins; (3) tooth displacement and resorption that were seen in most of the OM lesions; (4) OMs that were noted to have a tendency to involve the alveolar process, scallop between the roots and affect the integrity of the alveolar ridge; (5) the cortex of OMs that appeared normally perforated and the edge of the cortex expanded into the soft tissue. Conclusions: CBCT is highly effective in demonstrating the comprehensive internal structures of the lesions precisely and providing detailed information for the diagnosis of OM.

“…Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign intraosseous neoplasia, not very frequent, [1] but with high infiltrative potential that makes it a locally invasive tumor. It belongs to the Classification of Odontogenic Tumors, to the subgroup derived from ectomesenchyme [2] [3] [4] [5].…”

Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign intraosseous tumor, but locally invasive, having a high rate of recurrence. It preferably locates in posterior mandibular regions, followed by the incisors, maxillary and; exceptionally, the mandibular condyle. Odontogenic myxoma can be found most often in young adults aged 25-35 years although lesions may occur over a lifetime, reporting the lowest prevalence in childhood with a predilection for permanent dentition. This paper presents a case of a three-year-old boy who visits the dentist because some mandibular teeth have not erupted. Panoramic radiograph and CBCT exams were performed. The tumor was radiological and histologically diagnosed as odontogenic myxoma. It was decided to do conservative surgery and it has been controlled for 4 years with favorable results and without imaging signs of relapse. This case demonstrates the unpredictability of a pathological maxillo-facial lesion, and leads to suggesting early control of the dental development process in pediatric patients.
