The odontogenic myxoma
is one of the most rare odontogenic tumors and must be distinguished
from a true myxoma. The tumor
is more common in the maxilla than the mandible and appears commonly
in the second decade of life.
It develops slowly and asymptomatically, provoking an expansion
of the alveolar ridges and displacement of neighboring teeth.
Radiographs show a well defined radiolucent image with a honeycomb
or mottled appearance of bone in its interior
