Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Pathology
Oncology

Background:

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare, benign but locally aggressive intraosseous neoplasm.
Typically found in the jaws, it originates from the mesenchymal portion of the tooth germ.
Clinically presents as a slow-growing, painless, central jaw tumor, predominantly in the mandible.

Observation:

A 26-year-old female presented with a slow-growing, painless, central mandibular tumor.
The tumor had expanded significantly, involving the entire left hemimandible, including the ramus.

Findings:

The odontogenic myxoma acquired large dimensions within 1.5 years.
The extensive tumor growth resulted in gross facial deformity.

Implications:

This case underscores the potential for rapid, extensive growth of odontogenic myxoma.
Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing locally aggressive jaw tumors and preventing disfigurement.
