Mixofibroma odontogénico, reporte de un caso con seguimiento a cinco años / Odontogenic myxofibroma, case report with 5 years of follow-up

El mixoma odontogénico es una neoplasia de origen mesenquimal, con crecimiento lento pero localmente invasivo y agresivo, que cuenta con un aspecto histológico característico. Radiográficamente, la mayoría de las lesiones tienen un aspecto radiolúcido multilocular, descrito en la literatura como «panal de abejas¼ o «burbujas de jabón¼, que ocasionan desplazamiento dental y expansión corticales. En el ámbito histopatológico, se caracteriza por células estelares o fusiformes con prolongaciones citoplasmáticas, en una sustancia mucoide o mixoide con presencia o no de colágena, cuando contiene grandes cantidades de tejido fibroso celular maduro se le llama mixofibroma. Se presenta un caso clínico de hombre de 38 años, que acude al Hospital General de Uruapan, Michoacán con aumento de volumen en región maxilar derecha; se toma biopsia incisional y se emite el diagnóstico histopatológico de mixofibroma odontogénico, 33.6% de los casos se presenta en el maxilar, con una distribución uniforme por todas las áreas llegando a erosionar el seno maxilar. Tiene una tasa de recurrencia de 10 a 33%, y el tratamiento ideal es la resección en bloque con márgenes de seguridad (AU)

Odontogenic myxoma is a slow-growing locally invasive intraosseous lesion with defined microscopic appearance. Radiographic appearance, is described as multilocular radiolucent lesion, which is reported in scientific literature as «honeycomb¼ or «soap bubbles¼ appearance most of the time; it exhibits dental displacement and cortical expansion. Histopathologically, stellate and spindle cells with cytoplasmic processes are observed in a mucoid or myxoid substance, with or without collagen; when it contains large amounts of mature cellular fibrous tissue, it is called myxofibroma. The present article presents the case of a 38 year old male, who attended the General Hospital in Uruapan, Michoacán due to an increased volume in the right maxillary region. Incisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological diagnosis of odontogenic myxofibroma was emitted. 33.6% of cases occur in the maxilla with a uniform distribution throughout the areas, and can erode the maxillary sinus. It has a recurrence rate of 10 to 33%, therefore ideal treatment is bloc resection leaving safety margins (AU)

Diagnostic considerations in central odontogenic fibroma of the maxilla: 2 case reports

Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is defined as a fibroblastic odontogenic tumor characterized by varying density of the tooth epithelium. It is an extremely rare benign neoplasm that occurs in the maxilla and the mandible; only a few reports of COF are available in the literature. Diagnosis of the lesion based only on the radiological features of COF is difficult due to variation in the findings regarding this condition. This report describes 2 clinical cases of middle-aged women with COF. Clinical examination revealed palatal mucosal depression; additionally, oral examination, as well as panoramic radiographs, intraoral radiographs, and computed tomography scans, revealed severe root resorption. This report highlights the clinical and radiological imaging features of COF, with the goal of enabling straightforward differential diagnosis of the lesion by the clinician and thereby appropriate treatment of the patient.
