Odontogenic Myxoma : Clinico - radiographicPresentation – ACase Report

چکیده
Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare tumourarising in the jaws. It is considered to be derived from ectomesenchymal portion of tooth germ.They are slow growing, non-metastasizing, often asymptomatic with local aggressiveness due to its infiltrative nature and hence high recurrence rate, with a high incidence of occurrence in the mandible. Most frequently occurs in second to third decade of life, seldom occurs beyond these age groups. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the odontogenic myxoma is classified as an odontogenic tumor ofectomesenchymal origin. Theradiographic appearance of OM is not specific and thediagnosis is frequently unexpected following surgical removalof the lesion.We present a case of odontogenic myxoma in aneighty-year old male patient, which had acquired large dimensions and involved the right maxilla including maxillary sinus of right side resulting in gross facial deformity within a span oftwo months.
