Radiographic Presentation of Fibromyxoma: An Uncommon Entity.
Article in English | IMSEAR | ID: sea-169149
ABSTRACT
Fibromyxoma is a rare, locally destructive, benign odontogenic mesenchymal tumor which is found exclusively in the jaw region. The maxilla and anterior part of the mandible are rarely affected. It can usually lead to extensive bony destruction with extension into the surrounding structures. The lesion often grows without symptoms and presents as a painless swelling. Histologically and radiologically it is difficult to differentiate this tumor from other odontogenic tumors and may be mistaken occasionally for a malignant pathology. A similar situation happened with our case that was clinically misdiagnosed as malignant lesion initially, but after two repeated biopsies diagnosed as a fibromyxoma.
