Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is an uncommon, benign, locally invasive, non-metastasizing neoplasm arising from the odontogenic ectomesenchyme that usually occurs in the tooth bearing areas of the jaws. These lesions arouse special interest as they pose high diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a rare case of OM of the maxilla in an 18-year-old male. The clinical, radiographic and histopathological features of the lesion are discussed in this paper.
牙源性黏液瘤(OM)是一种罕见的、良性的、具有局部侵袭性且不发生转移的肿瘤,起源于牙源性外胚间叶组织,通常发生于颌骨的牙列区域。这些病变因其带来的高诊断挑战而引起特别关注。在此,我们报告一例18岁男性上颌骨牙源性黏液瘤的罕见病例。本文讨论了该病变的临床、影像学及组织病理学特征。
