Odontogenic Fibromyxoma of Maxilla: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Odontogenic fibromyxoma (OM) is a rare locally invasive, non metastasizing benign neoplasm found exclusively in the jaws. It commonly occurs in the second and third decade,and the mandible is involved more commonly than the maxilla. The lesion often grows without symptoms and presents as a painless swelling.The radiographic features are variable sothe diagnosis is not easy in many cases. It poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its morphology and biological behaviour. A case of OM of the maxilla with unusual radiographic and histological features is described in a 27 year old female.
