ABSTRACT

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare tumor which occurs almost exclusively in the jaws, and seems to be of odontogenic origin. Clinically this tumor tends to appear in the second and third decades of life, and most of the lesions are located in the premolar - molar region. It is characterized grossly by mucoid or gelatinous gray-whitish tissue that replaces the cancellous bone and expands the cortex. It is invasive locally and has a high recurrence rate ranging from 10% to 33%. Radiographically, the appearance of this tumor is varied, but usually appears as a unilocular or multilocualr radioluscency of varying size. We experienced a rare case of odontogenic myxoma 12 years old patient related to mandibular bilateral impacted canines in the mandible, so we report this case with literature.
