“…9 They have predilection for the molar and premolar region of the maxilla. 10 Odontogenic maxillary myxomas were first mentioned in the literature by Thoma et al on the basis of site of occurrence, age at occurrence, association with missing teeth, and histopathological examination, which showed structural resemblance with dental mesenchyme and the sporadic presence of islands of odontogenic epithelium. 2 Clinical presentation of OM ranges from patient being asymptomatic to symptoms such as pain, paraesthesia or facial asymmetries when they take on larger sizes.…”

<p class="abstract">An odontogenic myxoma is a benign odontogenic tumor with locally aggressive behavior. It is relatively rare in the oral cavity. The diagnosis poses a challenge because its features overlap with those of other benign and malignant neoplasms. We present an unusual case of odontogenic myxoma with involvement of the maxilla extending to the maxillary sinus in a 17-year-old lady. A unique computed tomography (CT) appearance revealed a well circumscribed lytic lesion arising from the left maxilla causing expansion and thinning of the maxillary cortex. There is a discernible tooth with adjacent amorphous calcification in a round formation noted within the lesion. Biopsy revealed an odontogenic myxoma. The patient however did not undergo surgical excision as was not consented at the time of this write ups. This paper highlights the unique radiographic appearance of the pathology that has not been reported so far as well as to discuss its clinical significance. </p>

“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the odontogenic myxoma is classified as a benign tumor of ectomesenchymal origin, with or without odontogenic epithelium [1]. The OM is an lesion that occurs primarily in adulthood, particularly during III decade, while it is rare in children [2]. Some authors have reported that about 60% of OM are located in the mandible, especially in the premolar-molar region [3], while most of the authors have described a uniform distribution of the tumor in the jaw bones [1].…”

Odontogenic Myxofibroma in a Paediatric Patient: Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2018

This is a case report of an Odontogenic myxofibroma in a paediatric patient. This lesion, also called odontogenic myxoma, is an uncommon benign odontogenic tumour that derives from mesenchymal elements. Odontogenic myxofibroma in paediatric age is rare, because is more frequently discovered between the second and the fourth decade. Clinical, radiological and histological examinations were performed. Clinical examination showed a 3 cm painful swelling in the anterior mandible, and the panoramic radiograph confirmed the presence of an ovoid, well-definite radiotransparent area. Histologically, the odontogenic myxofibroma was characterized by an abundant mucoid stroma containing angular, spindle-shaped and rounded cells. The young age of the patient was considered an indication to perform a conservative approach, with the goal of avoiding the extraction of the elements interested. As reported in literature, the follow-up management depends on several variables, such as location, size, age of onset, and the type of surgical treatment. After 5 years, clinical and radiographic follow up showed no recurrence and the integrity of the anterior mandibular teeth.
