    Author: Manjunath S, Gupta A, Swetha P, Moon Nj, Singh S, Singh A.
    Journal: Ann Med Health Sci Res; 2014 Mar; 4(Suppl 1):S45-8. PubMed ID: 25031907.
    Abstract:
    Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a mesenchymal tissue benign neoplasia, being relatively rare which is almost exclusively seen in tooth-bearing areas. OM commonly occurs in the 2(nd) and 3(rd) decade and the mandible is involved more commonly than the maxilla. The lesion often grows without symptoms and presents as a painless swelling. Radiographically, the myxoma appears as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucency. This article presents a rare case of OM occurring in the maxilla of a 28-year-old female patient with a brief review of the literature.
