Abstract

Odontogenic myxomas are benign but locally invasive tumor originating from primordial mesenchymal tooth forming tissues which do not metastasise. They can be found in both the maxilla and mandible, usually associated with a tooth germ. It occurs mostly in the second or third decades of life and affects mainly the posterior mandible. Radiographically it appears as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with irregular margins. They are usually asymptomatic, with the potential to attain great size without noticeable signs and symptoms. Nevertheless, in the current literature, several symptoms have been associated with odontogenic myxomas: tooth displacement and mobility, malocclusion, facial asymmetry, delayed eruption of teeth, disturbance of speech and mastication,pain, and mandibular nerve paresthesia. They are rare tumors and account for 3.3-15.7% of all odontogenic tumors in adults. In this case report, a case of Odontogenic myxoma (OM) localized in the mandible was presented.
