[Myxomas of the jaws. 10 cases and differential diagnostic evaluations]

Ten cases of myxoma of the jaw bones are presented. After an examination of the anatomical-clinical-radiological aspects and the micro- and macroscopic pathological anatomy, the authors present a histopathological differential diagnosis and in particular demonstrate that a diagnosis of myxoma is based upon its localization and the exclusion of any benign and malignant lesions due to myxoid. Conservative excision is the preferred treatment.
