Dental Radiography and Imaging

A 19-year-old female patient was referred to the oral medicine clinic to evaluate an asymptomatic and unilateral swelling in the left mandibular area. The periapical radiography showed an apparently unilocular radiolucency located in the radicular area of the left second premolar. Previous radiographic examinations and a cone beam CT study were requested for lesion study. An incisional biopsy was performed for histopathologic analysis. Macroscopic examination showed a sample with a white and gelatinous appearance. Microscopically, the lesion was composed of haphazardly arranged stellate, spindle-shaped, and round cells in an abundant, loose myxoid stroma. Histopathologicfindings were compatible with odontogenic myxoma. Immunohistochemical study was performed to rule out other pathologic entities. The complete elimination of the lesion was performed by block resection followed by reconstruction and subsequent clinical controls. The case is reported under the informed consent of the patient.
