“…Even though it is an uncommon tumor in children [3] [6] [7] [8] [16], odontogenic myxoma is a locally aggressive lesion, therefore the importance of periodic dental follow-up of the pediatric patient, especially if there are eruption anomalies, or any clinical, or radiographic findings that make us suspect.…”

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.

“…OM is an uncommon disease; some studies reveal that it represents between 3.3% -25.7% of all odontogenic tumors in adults, and between 8.5% -11.6% in children [4] [7] [5] [6] [8]. In Chile, its prevalence is considered to be 8.8% among all odontogenic tumors at all age ranges [9].…”

“…This is probably due to more visible disfigurement when the lesions are located in the anterior area. 1,8,16 Radiological examination plays a crucial role for the differential diagnosis of OM, which includes other pathological conditions like: odontogenic fibroma, fibrous dysplasia, ameloblastoma, keratocyst odontogenic tumor, central giant cell granuloma. 8 Similarly to other odontogenic tumors, terms such as "soap bubbles", "ground glass" or "tennis racquet appearance" have all been used to describe the radiographic appearances of these lesions.…”

“…1 The tennis racket appearance where the bony septae appear as triangular, square or rectangular compartments with very fine trabeculation within them is the most common. 9,15,16 The gross appearance of the surgical specimen which displayed a hard-fibrous consistence, could lead the surgeons toward the hypothesis of a myxomatous lesion. As for the other odontogenic tumors, definitive diagnosis of OM is based on histopathologic evaluation.…”

Odontogenic myxofibroma is a rare, benign, but locally aggressive neoplasm found exclusively in the jaws. It has a predilection to occurs in the 2nd–3rd decade. The lesion often grows without symptoms and presents as a painless swelling. Most common clinical variant is associated with the impacted tooth and shows local invasion. The surgical treatment of these tumors consists of complete enucleation or radical excision. 15th year old girl with a slow growing, painless swelling in the left mandibular region since 2 years. Results of a radiological examination revealed a multilocular radiolucency extending from first molar up to coronoid process with impacted 3rd molar. Biopsy was done, and the histopathological examination showed a myxofibroma. Hemimandibulectomy was done and the tumor mass was resected along with it. Then the mandibular was reconstructed with AO plate. In this case hemimandibulectomy was done due to high rate of recurrence, surgical treatment through bone resection is the most indicated treatment modality and the patient must be followed‑up closely for years. AO Plate for mandibular reconstruction was considered because it was safe, rapid, easy and tissue tolerance is good. The neoplasm diagnosed on the basis of radiographic imaging modalities and histopathological examination.
