Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Fibromyxoma of the jaw is a rare benign neoplasm.
  • It typically presents as an aggressive lytic lesion radiologically.
  • Most commonly occurs in individuals between 10 and 50 years old.

Observation:

  • A case of fibromyxoma of the jaw is presented in a 56-year-old woman.
  • The patient's age is statistically unusual for this condition.
  • Histologic and histochemical analyses were performed.

Findings:

  • Fibromyxoma can exhibit aggressive radiologic features despite benign histology.
  • The presented case occurred outside the typical age range.
  • Histologic and histochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known age distribution for jaw fibromyxoma.
  • It underscores the importance of considering fibromyxoma in older adults with lytic jaw lesions.
  • Further research may clarify the biological behavior across different age groups.
