Abstract:
Myxoid tumors are a group of heterogeneous lesions with a voluminous myxoid matrix, which may affect any tissue in the body. The frequency of these tumors depends on their localization. On the face, the localization is most often osseous. In this case, they are odontogenic myxoma. Localization in facial soft tissues is very rare. These tumors are benign but with a high potential for local aggressiveness and recurrence. They must be treated surgically with radical exeresis and long-term follow-up.
