Abstract
Odontogenic myxomas (OMs) are predominantly found in young adults. This case report provides clinical and microscopic information about an unusual OM in an elderly patient. Woman, 80, had swelling between the upper right canine and premolar. She reported that in the same region 3 years previously a biopsy was performed that prompted a microscopic diagnosis of hyperplasia. Intraoral examination revealed a single, sessile, firm, well-circumscribed lesion, no alteration in color, and no symptoms. Periapical radiography showed thickening of the periodontal ligament.
