Peripheral Odontogenic Myxoma with Ossification: A Unique Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon, benign neoplasm and originates exclusively from the tooth-bearing areas of the jaw and more commonly found centrally in the mandible. Soft-tissue localization is seldom seen and is categorized as peripheral odontogenic myxoma. (POM). POM has a low recurrence rate. It grows slowly and less aggressive as compared to the central variety. Only a few cases of POM located on maxillary gingiva are reported in the literature. In this case report, we present an unusual case of POM located on the gingiva in the anterior maxillary region in a 50 year-old female patient and all reported POM’s in the literature are discussed.
