Abstract
Odontogenic myxoma is a rare ectomesenchymal tumor comprising 3% to 6% of all odontogenic tumors. It occurs mostly in the second or third decades of life and affects mainly the posterior mandible. The tumor displays slow growth and may displace teeth and lead to the expansion of bone. Radiographically, it appears as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucency with irregular margins. Multilocular lesions may present a “racket” appearance, with the trabeculae of residual bone arranged at right angles to one another.
