Abstract:

Odontogenic fibromyxoma represents a rare benign odontogenic tumor of mesenchymal origin which exhibits locally aggressive behavior and is prone to local recurrence and affects mostly the posterior region of the mandible. We present a case report of a 60-year-old male with a swelling of the left mandible. The clinical findings are atypical of a particular oral disease. Final diagnosis of odontogenic fibromyxoma is established through clinical and subsequent histopathological examination.Odontogenic fibromyxoma is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The controversy in the treatment protocol fora patient with odontogenic fibromyxoma has mainly been focused on therapeutic management with recommendations varying, depending on the size of the tumor, from simple enucleation and curettage or wide excision to segmental bone resection.
