Odontogenic Myxoma Located in The Mandible: A Case Report (original) (raw)

Odontogenic myxoma of mandible – report of a case and review of literature

Egyptian Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, 2015

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare, benign mesenchymal intraosseous neoplasm which is nonencapsulated and is called 'locally malignant' on account of its exceptionally high local aggressiveness and nonmetastasizing nature. Intraosseous myxomas are rare, and those that are encountered are almost exclusively confined to the jaws. Among all the odontogenic tumors, odontogenic myxoma constitutes only 3-11%. Radical excision and a close follow-up are advocated by most surgeons to prevent recurrences.

Odontogenic Myxoma of the Mandible

2020

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare neoplasm wich can occure in soft tissue or bone, which has the high risk for massive destruction of the jaws and derividing from mesenchymal tooth forming tissues, OM has a predilection in the mandiblular posterior region. In this report we present the case of a typical odontogenic myxoma in a 20-year-old male patient, who acquired large swelling and involved the whole the left half of the mandible including the ramus and molar region resulting in grossly facial assymetry within a peroid of 3 years. After the diagnosis was confirmed the patient was treated with left hemimandibulectomy and reconstruction was done.

Odontogenic myxoma - A report of two cases

IP innovative publication pvt. ltd, 2019

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare intraosseous neoplasm that has the potential for extensive destruction of the jaws. It is thought to be derived from mesenchymal portion of tooth germ. Odontogenic myxoma mainly affects the mandible, with a peak incidence in the second to fourth decades of life and have predilection for the female sex. In this article, we report two cases of odontogenic myxoma in 31-year-old and 35 year old male patients that involved right maxilla and right mandible respectively.

Odontogenic Myxoma of the Mandible : Case

2015

Odontogenic myxomas are benign but locally aggressive neoplasms found almost exclusively in the jaws and arise only occasionally in other bones. This is a case of odontogenic myxoma occurring in the mandible of a 49-year-old male patient with a brief review of clinical and radiological features, and diagnostic and operative management of odontogenic myxoma.

A large and rapidly expanding odontogenic myxoma of the mandible

Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a locally invasive benign tumour of the jaw originating from primordial mesenchymal tooth forming tissues. The average age for patients with OM is 25–30 years. OM has a predilection for posterior mandible. When it occurs in the maxilla, it is more invasive than that in the mandible. The recurrence rate of OM ranges between 10–33% with an average of 25%, hence, proper treatment design and close postoperative follow‑up for the initial 2 years has been recommended. This is a case of a 30‑year‑old female showing a large expansile, rapidly growing lesion on the left side of the face involving left mandibular body and ramus. OM cases of this size and such rapid growth are very few in literature, and hence, makes this case one of the rare cases. Radiological investigations helped us to arrive at a diagnosis which was verified later by pre and postoperative histopathological examination. The patient was treated with left hemi‑mandibulectomy and reconstruction was done using free fibula graft with titanium implant. The patient is presently under follow‑up.

Odontogenic myxoma: Report of two cases

National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2010

The German pathologist Rudolph Virchow was probably the first to describe the histologic features of myxofibroma in 1863, although the lesions of jaws were not particularly mentioned. In 1947, Thoma and Goldman first described myxomas of the jaws. Since then odontogenic myxoma has been a subject of continuous scientific debate. [1] Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal odontogenic tumor arising from the dental papilla, follicle, or the periodontal ligament. The evidence for its odontogenic origin arises from its almost exclusive location in the tooth-bearing areas of the jaws, its occasional association with missing or unerupted teeth and the presence of odontogenic epithelium. Clinically, odontogenic myxoma is a benign painless, invasive, slowly enlarging mass causing marked asymmetry of the face. It commonly involves the mandibular premolar and molar regions. Females have higher predilection than males. It usually occurs in second and third decades of life and causes expansion of bony cortices, displacement and loosening of teeth. [2] Radiographically, its appearance ranges from unilocular pericoronal radiolucency with variable trabecular pattern giving rise to soap bubble, tennis racquet, or honey comb appearance. The "sunray" or "sunburst" appearance has also been reported in the literature. case rePorts Case 1 A 25-year-old male patient presented at St Joseph

Odontogenic Myxoma –Report Of A Rare Case

IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences

Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon, benign, locally invasive neoplasm arising from embryonic mesenchyme of dental primordium and exclusively present in tooth bearing areas of the jaws. It is most often seen in females of 20-40 years of age and mainly affects the posterior mandible. The lesion remains asymptomatic until it reaches a noticeable size. The radiographic features are variable. This article presents a case of odontogenic myxoma presenting in an unusual site and age with classic radiographic appearance. The clinical, radiological, histopathological features and surgical dilemmas in managing the same is discussed.
