“…Literature review shows that odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon tumor [4] In the literature, there are few case reports of pediatric patients, Schwenzer-Zim- This clinical case in a 3-year-old patient shows how unpredictable odontogenic lesions can be, in this respect. In most cases, the diagnosis is made at an older age when the lesion has already shown clinical features, that is, it has reached important growth [14]. In some instances, clinical growth can be rapid, which is probably related to myxoid substance accumulation in the tumor [2] [3].…”

“…As mentioned before, the image of the lesion, both in the radiograph and in the CT, is radiolucent, generally multilocular, but in the MRI there are a characteristic medium intensity signal on T1, and a hyperintense signal on T2 [17]. Both the radiograph and the CT or MRI should correlate with the only exam that can provide accuracy when diagnosing a bone lesion, that is, the histopathological study [3]- [14] [16] [17].…”

Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign intraosseous tumor, but locally invasive, having a high rate of recurrence. It preferably locates in posterior mandibular regions, followed by the incisors, maxillary and; exceptionally, the mandibular condyle. Odontogenic myxoma can be found most often in young adults aged 25-35 years although lesions may occur over a lifetime, reporting the lowest prevalence in childhood with a predilection for permanent dentition. This paper presents a case of a three-year-old boy who visits the dentist because some mandibular teeth have not erupted. Panoramic radiograph and CBCT exams were performed. The tumor was radiological and histologically diagnosed as odontogenic myxoma. It was decided to do conservative surgery and it has been controlled for 4 years with favorable results and without imaging signs of relapse. This case demonstrates the unpredictability of a pathological maxillo-facial lesion, and leads to suggesting early control of the dental development process in pediatric patients.
