Abstract
- Odontogenic fibromyxomas are extremely rare benign odontogenic tumors that probably arise from interstitial portion of jaw bone. The plain X-ray showed osteolytic destructive lesions in the molar root area. CT scans demonstrated osteolytic expansile lesions with mild enhancement of the solid portion of the mass. Histologically, the tumor is composed of fibrous tissue and myxoid tissues. In this paper a case of odontogenic fibromyxoma of the maxilla and a review of the literature is presented.
