Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a relatively rare benign odontogenic tumor of mesenchymal origin. OM is more common in the mandible than in the maxilla. It is an asymptomatic lesion that shows an infiltrative growth pattern. When the maxillary sinus is involved, it often fills the entire antrum. Odontogenic tumors are uncommon in the maxillary molar area, which often leads to diagnostic dilemma as this region of the maxilla is in the vicinity of vital structures, and radiographic overlapping of structures is always present. We present a similar case of a 17-year-old male patient who reported with a swelling in the left maxilla that infiltrated the maxillary sinus in a short duration of time.
牙源性黏液瘤（OM）是一种相对罕见的间充质来源的良性牙源性肿瘤。OM在下颌骨比在上颌骨更常见。它是一种无症状的病变，呈浸润性生长模式。当上颌窦受累时，它常充满整个窦腔。牙源性肿瘤在上颌磨牙区并不常见，这常常导致诊断困境，因为上颌骨的这个区域靠近重要结构，且结构的影像学重叠总是存在。我们报告了一例类似病例，一名17岁男性患者，其左上颌骨肿胀，在短时间内浸润至上颌窦。
