Peripheral odontogenic myxoma (POM), a rare and extra-osseous variant of odontogenic myxoma (OM), is classified as a relatively rare benign odontogenic tumour, yet presenting with locally aggressive behaviour and a wide range of variable clinical presentations. The objective of this case report is to present a patient who reported with the complaint of pus discharge in upper front region of the jaw, in the past one month. No associated history of tooth loss, impacted teeth or intracanal infection was noted clinically as well as radiographically. The lesion was completely excised and was sent for histopathological examination, which was diagnosed to be POM. Thereby, such cases reported in the clinics or the tertiary care hospitals should not come as a surprise as they are encountered commonly and should be diagnosed to be of apt quality.
外周性牙源性黏液瘤（POM）是牙源性黏液瘤（OM）的一种罕见的骨外型变体，被归类为相对罕见的良性牙源性肿瘤，但具有局部侵袭性，临床表现多样。本病例报告的目的是介绍一名患者，该患者在过去一个月内出现上颌前部区域流脓的症状。临床及影像学检查均未发现牙齿缺失、阻生牙或根管感染的相关病史。病变被完整切除并送去做组织病理学检查，诊断为POM。因此，此类病例在诊所或三级医院被报道并不奇怪，因为它们很常见，且应得到准确诊断。
