Odontogenic Myxoma of the Mandible

Background: Odontogenic myxoma is a rare slow growing, benign, locally aggressive tumor of ectomesenchymal origin with or without odontogenic epithelium, comprising 3% to 6% of all odontogenic tumors. It appears to originate from dental papilla, follicle, or periodontal ligament in mandible and less commonly the maxilla. These usually present in second or third decades with marked female predil...

Odontogenic Myxoma of the Mandible

Odontogenic myxomas are benign but locally aggressive neoplasms found almost exclusively in the jaws and arise only occasionally in other bones. We present a rare case of odontogenic myxoma occurring in the mandible of a 19-year-old male patient with a brief review of clinical and radiological features, and diagnostic and operative dilemmas in managing the same.

Central Odontogenic Fibroma of the Mandible

A 16-years-old female patient with painless swelling of the right side of mandible is described. She noticed the swelling from two years ago, without painful symptoms. Axial CT imaging showed buccal expansion with intact buccal and lingual cortical bone. The report of incisional biopsy was central odontogenic fibroma. Under general anesthesia the lesion was removed after ostectomy of buccal cor...

Odontogenic cysts in three dogs: one odontogenic keratocyst and two dentigerous cysts.

Odontogenic cysts, which showed cystic radiolucency in the jaw bone by radiographic examination and computed tomography, were enucleated by operation in 3 dogs. One dog had a odontogenic keratocyst in the incisive bone of the right maxilla and another 2 cases revealed dentigerous cysts in the mandible. These cyst walls were enucleated or transpired by semiconductor laser. Afterwards, osteogenes...
