Peripheral odontogenic myxoma is a rare odontogenic tumor representing an extra osseous counterpart of central odontogenic myxoma. It is commonly seen in gingiva between the 3rd and 4th decades of life and appears predominantly in females. Compared to central odontogenic myxoma, it is a less aggressive, slow-growing lesion with a low recurrence rate. However, close postoperative follow-up is required because of the unlimited growth potential of incompletely removed lesions. It shares many features with other soft tissue myxoid proliferations occurring in the oral cavity and hence needs to be differentiated from them. Very few cases of peripheral odontogenic myxomas have been reported and, to the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported in a pediatric patient. We present an unusual case of peripheral odontogenic myxoma occurring in a 12-year-old girl located in the anterior mandibular gingiva, with an emphasis on differential diagnosis.
外周性牙源性黏液瘤是一种罕见的牙源性肿瘤，是中央性牙源性黏液瘤的骨外对应物。它常见于30至40岁之间的牙龈，主要发生于女性。与中央性牙源性黏液瘤相比，它侵袭性较小，生长缓慢，复发率低。然而，由于未完全切除的病变具有无限生长潜能，术后需要密切随访。它与口腔中发生的其他软组织黏液样增生有许多共同特征，因此需要与它们进行鉴别。外周性牙源性黏液瘤的病例报道极少，据我们所知，尚无儿科患者的病例报道。我们报告一例发生于一名12岁女孩下颌前部牙龈的外周性牙源性黏液瘤罕见病例，并重点讨论鉴别诊断。
