  • Title: [Odontogenic myxoma of the maxilla in a three-year-old boy].
    Author: Danielsson LI, Jakobsen J, Thygesen TH, Fast S.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2014 Mar 24; 176(13):. PubMed ID: 25349936.
    Abstract:
    A three-year-old boy presented with a painless mass in the nasolabial fold and ipsilateral increased tearing. A diagnosis of odontogenic myxoma (OM) was established by biopsy, and the tumour was excised using a combined oral and transconjuctival approach. In small children OM occurs almost exclusively in the maxilla. Orbital involvement is very rare, and to our knowledge reconstruction with a Medpore sheet has not previously been reported. At post-operative follow-up normal eye function and an excellent cosmetic result was observed. OM should be considered in a midfacial mass.
