Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare benign but locally aggressive tumour of the jaws. It is usually seen in the second to third decade of life. Women are more frequently affected than men and it has more predilections for the mandible rather than the maxilla. OM presents as an asymptomatic swelling in most of the cases. Owing to the non-capsulated and aggressive nature of OM, a high rate of recurrence has been reported. Here we present a case of OM in a 52-year-old woman managed by segmental mandibulectomy. Sign of recurrence was seen after 18 months of follow-up.
牙源性黏液瘤(OM)是一种罕见的颌骨良性但具有局部侵袭性的肿瘤。它通常出现在生命的第二个十年到第三个十年。女性比男性更易受影响,且更倾向于发生在下颌骨而非上颌骨。在大多数病例中,OM表现为无症状性肿胀。由于OM无包膜且具有侵袭性,据报道其复发率很高。在此,我们报告一例52岁女性的OM病例,该患者接受了下颌骨节段性切除术。随访18个月后出现复发迹象。
