MYXOMA OF ORAL SOFT TISSUE

Abstract

The intraoral soft tissue myxoma or the peripheral myxoma is an extremely rare, slowly growing, benign mesenchymal tumor. Pathologically, it may be difficult to differentiate from other tumors with myxoid stroma and is occasionally misinterpreted as malignant. We report a case of unusually massive peripheral myxoma of left alveolar ridge in a 35-year-old lady. Key Words: Myxoma, peripheral, alveolar ridge.
