Abstract

Odontogenic myxoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor that appears to be associated with odontogenic ectomesenchyme of the growing teeth. This tumor, which often occurs in the second and third decades of life, is extremely rare and often asymptomatic in children. However, no theoretical consensus exists in the literature over the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In this study, we investigated the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of a rare case of odontogenic myxoma in a 13-year-old child. Keywords: Odontogenic myxoma; Maxilla; Children.
