Popis: | Odontogenic myxoma is a benign odontogenic tumour of the jaw [1]. This tumour often presents as an asymptomatic expansile lesion without sensory nerve changes [2]. It is thought to arise from mesenchymal origin with cells of microscopic similarity to dental pulp and follicle [3]. Radiographically it presents most often as a multiloculated radiolucency [2]. It is a locally aggressive lesion which may require extensive treatment to prevent recurrence. The authors present the case of a 13-year-old boy with an extensive lesion in the maxilla. We discuss various treatment approaches for management of this tumour. |
