Maxillary odontogenic myxoma: A case report

Abstract

Odontogenic myxoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor that appears to be associated with odon- togenic ectomesenchyme of the growing teeth. This tumor, which often occurs in the second and third decades of life, is extremely rare and often asymptomatic in children. However, no theoretical consensus exists in the literature over the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In this study, we investigated the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of a rare case of odontogenic myxoma in a 13-year-old child.
