RECURRENT ODONTOGENIC MYXOMA OF MANDIBLE: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Odontogenic myxoma is known as a rare benign mesenchymal odontogenic neoplasm in oral cavity. Tumor is seen most frequently in mandible. Because asymptomatic, the tumors usually discovered during a routine radiographic examination. Large lesions can be diagnosed easily due to the jaw expansion and perforation of the cortical plate. Radiologically, the lesion can be seen unilocular radiolucency or multicystic lesion with well-defined or diffused margins. The radiographic appearance can be defined as “honey coumbed,” “soap bubble,” or “tennis racket”
