Abstract
The odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a locally invasive benign odontogenic tumour of the jaws, thought to originate from the mesenchymal portion of the tooth germ. It commonly manifests in individuals during their second or third decade of life.Females experience a higher frequency of occurrences compared to males, and there is a greater inclination for odontogenic myxoma to affect the mandible rather than the maxilla. In most cases, OM manifests as an asymptomatic swelling. Due to its non-capsulated and aggressive nature, there is a notable high recurrence rate reported.Small myxomas are typically addressed through curettage, but it is crucial to conduct thorough follow-up examinations for a minimum of 5 years. The standard treatment for myxoma typically involves surgical resection. Our article highlights two instances of odontogenic myxoma occurring in separate locations. The emphasis is on summarizing distinctive clinical and radiological behaviour of these lesions manifesting in the maxilla and mandible.
