Myxofibroma is a rare tumor. Three cases of myxofibroma, each of which developed at the right mandibular ramus, mandibular anterior tooth region, are presented. Myxofibroma developing in the mandibular ramus region is rare, and there has been only one case reported so far in Japan.

The spectrum of odontogenic fibroma, fibromyxoma/myxofibroma and myxoma represents a histogenetically related but behaviourally distinct heterogenous group of benign mesenchymal neoplasms. The terminologies myxofibromas/ fibromyxomas have been used histologically in the literature in a contradictory way either synonymously to myxomas or to designate simple odontogenic fibromas/ fibromas undergo...

PURPOSE The aim of this work is to report a review of the literature concerning epidemiology, clinical and radiographic features as well as treatment of odontogenic myxofibroma (MF). METHODS The PubMed database was searched using the following keywords: "odontogenic myxofibroma", "odontogenic fibromyxoma", "myxofibroma of the jaw" and "fibromyxoma of the jaw". RESULTS Fifteen articles repor...

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 perfo...

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...

Benign myxofibromas of heart are well known to cause systemic inflammatory mediator release causing multiple complications ranging from fever and widespread effusions to DIC and shock. We report that in a particular case of maxillary myxofibroma, a shock-like state and widespread serous cavities effusion presented in the immediate postoperative period. The occurrence was possibly due to release...

introduction: myxomas are a group of benign rare tumors of connective-tissue origin that occur in both hard (central) and soft tissues of the body. the aim of this study is to highlight our experience in the management of central myxoma of the jaw, with emphasis on its clinic-epidemiologic features as seen in our environment.  materials and methods: all patients who were managed for central myx...
