Central odontogenic fibromyxoma of the mandible

Odontogenic fibromyxoma: A case report in myasthenia gravis patient and review of the literature

“…Odontogenic fibromyxomas are generally rare, slow-growing, benign, asymptomatic, present with painless swelling and behave in a locally aggressive manner [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [17] , [21] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] . Pain is mostly seen in the case of infection, adjacent anatomical structures, or neural involvement [6] , [16] , [21] .…”

“…Pain is mostly seen in the case of infection, adjacent anatomical structures, or neural involvement [6] , [16] , [21] . Rarely in some other cases, during clinical examination patients complains of missing teeth, impacted teeth, malocclusion, paresthesia, hypesthesia, anesthesia, and deformity of the maxillofacial region [9] , [13] , [14] , [20] , [23] , [24] , [26] , [27] , [29] . In our case, the patient applied to us because of painless swelling.…”

“…Recent studies are considered to originate from primitive mesenchymal structures and are thought to arise from bone, tooth germ, or odontogenic tissues such as dental papilla, dental follicle or periodontal ligament. For this reason, we can say that all myxomas seen in the jaws are of odontogenic origin [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [20] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] .…”

“…It was observed that it peaked in the third decade. [2] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [16] , [17] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] . It is rarely seen in adults over 50 and children under 10 years of age [1] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [14] , [20] , [21] , [23] , [25] .…”

“…Since 1950, in the jaw, only 63 cases of odontogenic fibromyxoma (including the present case) have been published in the English-language literature ( Table 1 ) [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] . This study aimed to describe a case of fibromyxoma in a patient with myasthenia gravis and to review previously reported cases.…”
