A case of myxofibroma in the area of the anterior mandible

Abstract

Myxofibroma of the jaws does not occur with great frequency and its pathogenesis or cause is variously disputed. This report described a 26-year-old male suffering from myxofibroma of the mandible. He was referred to the clinic with chief complaint of feeling of disorder of the anterior mandible. Radiographic examination revealed unilocular and radiolucent lesion in 4-2 region.
Removal of the tumor was performed surgically under general anesthesia. Pathological findings showed myxofibroma, but it was impossible to clarify that the origin was odontogenic.
The patient shows no evidence of recurrence of tumor two years after surgery.
