It is well known that myxoma is observed in the jaws, but it does not occur with great frequency.
This report described a 35-year-old female suffering from large myxoma of the mandible. She was offered to the clinic with a chief complaint of apainless swelling in 8-2 region. Under general anesthesia removal of the tumor was performed surgically and the postoperative course was good.
Radiographs revealed a multiocular lesion with delicate trabeculations in 7+2 region.
Pathological findings showed myxoma of the mandible. It was impossible to clarify if the origin was odontogenic and it seemed that the tumor had originated from differentiation of fibroblasts.
