Odontogenic myxomas often have a distinctive radiographic presentation described as a "soap bubble", "tennis racket", or "honeycomb" pattern. Less frequently, examples of odontogenic myxomas with a "sunray" or "sunburst" pattern have been reported. Because malignant entities such as osteosarcomas more classically present with a sunray/sunburst appearance, odontogenic myxomas are rarely considered in the radiographic differential diagnosis of a sunburst lesion. The objective of this paper is to report a case of an odontogenic myxoma presenting with a sunburst appearance and to review similar reported cases in the literature. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this additional case of an odontogenic myxoma presenting with a sunburst appearance brings the total number of sunray/sunburst cases reported in the English language literature to 21.
牙源性黏液瘤通常具有独特的影像学表现,描述为“肥皂泡”、“网球拍”或“蜂窝”样模式。较少见的情况下,也有报告称牙源性黏液瘤具有“射线状”或“四射状”样模式。由于骨肉瘤等恶性实体瘤更典型地表现为射线状/四射状外观,因此在射线状病变的影像学鉴别诊断中很少考虑牙源性黏液瘤。本文的目的是报告一例呈射线状外观的牙源性黏液瘤,并复习文献中类似的报道病例。据作者所知,这例额外的呈射线状外观的牙源性黏液瘤使英文文献中报告的射线状/四射状病例总数达到 21 例。
