Odontogenic myxoma is a benign, rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin comprising of 3%-6% of all odontogenic tumors. Odontogenic myxoma occurs more commonly in the second and third decade and is more commonly seen in mandible compared with maxilla but behaves more aggressively in maxilla as it spreads through the maxillary antrum. It is usually associated with a painless swelling without any symptoms. The radiographic features are similar to other odontogenic tumors, and hence, it leads to diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, thorough knowledge regarding clinical, radiographical, and histopathological features are important to arrive at a proper treatment protocol as it shows a high recurrence rate. The aim of this paper was to present a rare case of 21-year-old male with a chief complaint of swelling in the left maxilla that infiltrated the maxillary sinus in a very short duration.
牙源性黏液瘤是一种罕见的间充质起源的良性肿瘤，占所有牙源性肿瘤的3%-6%。牙源性黏液瘤多发生于第二和第三个十年，与上颌骨相比，在下颌骨中更常见，但在上颌骨中表现得更具侵袭性，因为它会通过上颌窦扩散。它通常与无痛性肿胀相关，无任何症状。其影像学特征与其他牙源性肿瘤相似，因此会导致诊断困境。因此，全面了解临床、影像学和组织病理学特征对于制定合适的治疗方案很重要，因为它具有较高的复发率。本文的目的是介绍一例罕见病例，一名21岁男性，主要症状为左上颌骨肿胀，在很短时间内就侵犯了上颌窦。
