“…The peak age of diagnosis was during the third decade of life (50% of patients in the current study), as was found in several previous studies [ 8 – 10 , 22 , 24 ]. Manila et al reported that the mean age for male patients (56.7 years) was greater than that of female patients (40.5 years) [ 23 ]; by comparison, we found the respective age was 34 and 31.6 years.…”

“…In the current study, OMs occurred more frequently in women (male-to-female ratio of 1 : 2) as in several studies (male-to-female ratio ranging between 1 : 1.8 and 1 : 4.8) [ 2 , 5 , 7 – 10 , 12 , 20 – 22 ]. A male predilection was, however, observed in some studies [ 13 , 23 , 24 ]. Although the age at diagnosis of OM varies, most OMs are observed in patients during the second to fourth decade of life [ 2 , 8 – 11 ], including in our study.…”

“…As for imaging evaluation of OM, panoramic radiography and computed tomography are sufficient [ 12 ], although Manila et al suggest that magnetic resonance imaging should also be used to more accurately determine the margins [ 23 ]. Panoramic radiography is the most commonly used modality to evaluate OM [ 12 ].…”

Objective. This study aimed to determine the radiographic characteristics of odontogenic myxomas (OMs) and their associations. Materials and Methods. The study enrolled radiographs of patients taken between 2005 and 2019 with a confirmed histopathological diagnosis of central OM. OM radiographic features were evaluated, including location, border, locularity, involved area, the number of included teeth, root resorption, tooth displacement, bone expansion, bone perforation, and periosteal reaction. Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results. Significant associations were found between the OM border and the affected jaw ( p = 0.036 ), locularity ( p = 0.036 ), involved areas ( p = 0.009 ), and bone perforation ( p = 0.036 ). OMs with an ill-defined border were associated with maxillary lesions, multilocularity, dentate areas, and cortical bone perforation. The number of included teeth (2 or fewer or 3 or more) was significantly associated with locularity ( p = 0.010 ), involved area ( p = 0.045 ), and bone expansion ( p = 0.010 ). Larger OMs including 3 or more teeth, were associated with a multilocular appearance, dentate areas, and bone expansion. Conclusion. The border of OM and the number of included teeth are related to other radiographic appearances. Understanding these relationships could help in treatment decisions and help better understand the nature of OM.
