Premraj Prahaspathy*, Ramesh Venkatapathy, Nirima Oza and K. Ramadoss

ABSTRACT

Odontogenic myxofibroma is a very rare and locally invasive neoplasm presenting exclusively in the jaw. Most of the cases are asymptomatic, depicted as painless swelling of the jaw. Eventhough they present with varying radiographic features, their diagnosis are always confirmed by the histopathology, exhibiting the classic spindle shaped cells mimicking the embryonal ectomesenchyme in a myxoid background. Here we report a very rare case of myxofibroma, with variable clinical and radiographical presentation.

Keywords: Odontogenic myxofibroma, odontogenic myxoma, odontogenic tumour.
