“…27,28 In many cases, however, these lesions are coincidentally diagnosed during a routine dental checkup. 7,29 Some odontogenic myxomas are found to be associated with unerupted teeth. 30 Ulceration of the overlying mucosa is rarely seen and only occurs in case of the lesion being in the pathway of dental occlusion.…”

“…A presumptive case of odontogenic myxoma was also observed in the anterior region of the maxilla in a 23-year-old patient. Despite presenting a difficult diagnosis, the lesion was locally invasive and promoted resorption and displacement of the roots of the adjacent teeth [20], aspects evident during the radiographic evaluation, which led to this diagnostic hypothesis.…”

Detection of Radiolucid Lesions in Digital Panoramic Radiographs

This study evaluated the presence of radiolucid lesions in digital panoramic radiographs from the archives of the State University of Paraiba (UEPB) Diagnostic Imaging Clinic, performed in 2017. After surveying the radiographs performed by the service in that year, those with radiolucent lesions were selected, being excluded those with poor quality and with patient positioning errors. By means of a structured form, the characteristics observed in the radiographs were recorded by a single trained and calibrated observer. The analysis took place through descriptive statistics and all ethical aspects were respected. There was a low prevalence (14.2%) of radiographs with radiolucent lesions, which mainly affected young female patients. These lesions were small in size, located predominantly in the posterior periapical region of the mandible, with a unilocular aspect, being associated with a posterior tooth, mainly premolar. Inflammatory lesions were the most prevalent, with a presumptive diagnosis highlighting the predominance of abscesses followed by cysts/granulomas. The dentigerous cyst was the third most prevalent odontogenic lesion, occurring in its entirety in females. Odontogenic keratocysts and Stafne's bone cavity were also detected.
