Background We aim to report a serie of odontogenic myxoma over a 40-year period. Material and Methods We conducted a retrospective and sectional review of OM cases. The clinical, radiographic and treatment data were collected from clinical records included cases whose medical records contained clinical, radiographic, histopathological, follow-up data of at least six months. Results There was a mild preference for the male with a mean age of 22.8 years. Seventy-seven percent of the lesions occurred in the posterior region of the mandible, presenting a multilocular radiolucent aspect (54%) with one presenting symptomatology. Conservative treatment was performed in all patients initially and recurrence was observed in two cases. Conclusions Odontogenic myxoma has a well-defined clinical profile and the choice of treatment should consider aspects such as patient’s age, lesion size, and location. Key words: Myxoma, odontogenic tumors, diagnosis, treatment.

Turbulent flow in channels with gap is still a challenge for engineering. The velocity fluctuations and the appearance of coherent structures have been playing a major role in forced convective heat transfer process between the warm tube walls and the cooling fluid. In this paper numerical simulation of non-isothermal turbulent flow in a rectangular channel containing only one tube was performed. Unsteady Reynolds Navier-Stokes along with the energy equation were applied to model the problem. In order to overcome the closure problem the turbulence was modeled applying SAS model. The simulated geometry consists of a heated cylindrical tube, placed 10 mm from the bottom wall of the rectangular duct. The fluid flows externally to the heated tube along the mainstream direction. The channel’s length was based on the tube diameter, yielding L/D equal 80.
