چکیده

BACKGROUND Odontogenic fibromyxoma is an uncommon benign tumor arising from the maxillofacial bones. Fibromyxomas are rare in children under 10 years of age. Although this tumor is reported most frequently in the mandible for the general population, it has rarely been reported in the mandible in children <10 years of age. METHODS We reviewed the 39 reported cases of odontogenic fibromyxoma in children under the age of 10. We add 1 case to the literature. RESULTS This case represents the seventh case of odontogenic fibromyxoma of the mandible in a child under the age of 10 years reported in the English literature. CONCLUSION A case of pediatric odontogenic fibromyxoma in the mandible is described. Although rare in the pediatric population, odontogenic fibromyxomas should be included as a differential diagnostic consideration when evaluating tumors of the maxillofacial skeleton. Accurate pathologic diagnosis is critical to ensure proper management.
