Odontogenic myxoma is a benign odontogenic tumour of the jaw [1]. This tumour often presents as an asymptomatic expansile lesion without sensory nerve changes [2]. It is thought to arise from mesenchymal origin with cells of microscopic similarity to dental pulp and follicle [3]. Radiographically it presents most often as a multiloculated radiolucency [2]. It is a locally aggressive lesion which may require extensive treatment to prevent recurrence.
The authors present the case of a 13-year-old boy with an extensive lesion in the maxilla.
We discuss various treatment approaches for management of this tumour.
牙源性黏液瘤是颌骨的一种良性牙源性肿瘤[1]。该肿瘤通常表现为无症状的膨胀性病变，无感觉神经改变[2]。它被认为起源于间充质，其细胞在显微镜下与牙髓和滤泡相似[3]。影像学上，它最常表现为多房性透射区[2]。它是一种具有局部侵袭性的病变，可能需要广泛治疗以防止复发。
作者报告了一名13岁男孩上颌骨广泛病变的病例。
我们讨论了该肿瘤治疗的各种方法。
