“…Though little has been published on the appearance of OMX, it can be distinguished based on its unique site, symptoms, and radiographic appearance from other craniofacial myxoid bone lesions (e.g. chondroblastoma, chondromyxoid fibroma, rhabdomyosarcoma, mxyoid chondrosarcoma, and neurofibroma) [26], [27]. OMX can occur in any bone but most frequently presents on the diaphysis of long bones (especially the tibia and radius) as well as the sinus and nasal bones [2], [5], [16], [21], [27], [28], [29].…”

Osteochondromyxoma is an extremely rare bone tumor associated with 1% of Carney complex patients and constitutes one of its 11 diagnostic criteria. This narrative review of osteochondromyxoma is based on a search of all references to the topic in PubMed, Web Of Science, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, and JSTOR databases. Special attention was focused on case reports, leading to a review encompassing the case reports to date, as well as related animal model studies. This review covers the current understanding of osteochondromyxoma, highlighting its variability while providing consensus on the most common clinical presentation, pathological findings, and genetic features of this rare bone tumor.

mor, incidence rate is approximately 0.07 new cases per million people per year [7,8].All reports generally agree that the tumour frequently presents in the second or third decades of life [8][9][10].Most common clinical characteristics of odontogenic myxoma are swelling of the jaws with only few patients complaining of pain, paraesthesia and ulceration, 28% for pain and 56% for swelling [11].Several studies indicating that there is a higher rate of tumour incidence in the mandible than the maxilla [12][13][14][15], and almost occurring in the premolar and molar region of both jaws and rarely crosses the midline [12,16,17].Cortical expansion and perforation are common findings; however, maxillary myxomas often extend into the sinus [18]. The adequate management of Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a challenging problem against the high risk of recurrence.The aim of this paper is to report a case of odontogenic myxoma that affected the left maxilla focusing especially on surgical management. Case ReportA 42-year-old female was referred to our department with a complaint of a growing swelling in the area of the canin and premolar molar in his left maxilla that had been noticed a few weeks before. Upon admission, she noticed a swelling measuring about the size of a peanut in the gingiva of upper premolar tooth. That lesion had been excised by a dentist and the histopathologist con- AbstractOdontogenic myxoma (OM) is a benign, locally invasive and aggressive, non-metastasizing neoplasm of the jaw bones. This article presents a rare case of odontogenic myxoma occurring in the maxilla of a 42-year-old female patient with review of the literature emphasizing a huge controversy regarding the surgical management.

“…The lesion is not radiosensitive and studies have shown no longterm cure with radiotherapy alone (Landa et al, 2002) Radical surgery, excision, or enucleation followed by curettage of the surrounding bony tissue have all been advocated as treatment options ( Lo Muzio et al, 1996;Li et al, 2006;Rocha et al, 2009). Complete surgical removal by conservative treatment can be difficult, because, unlike most benign neoplasms, the myxoma is not encapsulated and its myxomatous tissue infiltrates the surrounding bony tissue without its immediate destruction (Lo Muzio et al, 1996).…”

Odontogenic myxomas are benign but locally invasive tumor originating from primordial mesenchymal tooth forming tissues which do not metastasise. They can be found in both the maxilla and mandible, usually associated with a tooth germ. It occurs mostly in the second or third decades of life and affects mainly the posterior mandible. Radiographically it appears as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with irregular margins. They are usually asymptomatic, with the potential to attain great size without noticeable signs and symptoms. Nevertheless, in the current literature, several symptoms have been associated with odontogenic myxomas: tooth displacement and mobility, malocclusion, facial asymmetry, delayed eruption of teeth, disturbance of speech and mastication,pain, and mandibular nerve paresthesia. They are rare tumors and account for 3.3-15.7% of all odontogenic tumors in adults. In this case report, a case of Odontogenic myxoma (OM) localized in the mandible was presented.
