Summary

Odontogenic myxoma, a benign but locally aggressive jaw tumor, requires surgical removal. This case details the successful resection and reconstruction of a large mandibular odontogenic myxoma.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Odontogenic myxoma is a rare, benign neoplasm originating from odontogenic ectomesenchyme.
  • Characterized by local invasiveness and potential for recurrence, necessitating complete excision.
  • Mandibular involvement presents unique surgical challenges due to anatomical complexity.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a moderately large odontogenic myxoma of the mandible.
  • The tumor exhibited characteristic radiographic and histopathological features.
  • Surgical planning focused on achieving clear margins while preserving function.

Findings:

  • Successful en bloc resection of the mandibular odontogenic myxoma was performed.
  • Reconstruction of the mandibular defect was achieved using autogenous bone graft.
  • Postoperative recovery was uneventful with good functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and aggressive surgical management for odontogenic myxoma.
  • Effective reconstructive techniques are crucial for restoring function and form after extensive resection.
  • Further research into the biological behavior and optimal treatment strategies for odontogenic myxoma is warranted.
