Odontogenic myxoma of incidental discovery at the Yaounde central hospital: Radioclinical aspects and use of the carney's solution

Abstract

Odontogenic myxoma is a benign tumor of the maxillae of mesenchymal origin. It is a rare lesion. The discovery of this lesion is most often fortuitous. Its clinical, radiological and histological diagnosis poses various problems which are addressed after the presentation of a lytic lesion of the right hemi-mandible, of multilocular appearance, having caused slight facial deformation in a 40 years old woman. Treatment is surgical.
