Conservative Management of Odontogenic Fibromyxoma of the Maxilla: A Case Report.

Odontogenic fibromyxoma typically presents as painless swelling in the jaw, and clinically, it grows slowly, becoming benign and asymptomatic. It causes the cortical plates to expand gradually, which leads to mobility and drifting of the teeth. Root resorption is also common. The tumor is locally aggressive in nature. It is also known to have a high recurrence rate. We present the case of a 30-year-old female patient who was diagnosed and treated for odontogenic fibromyxoma of the maxilla conservatively with enucleation. The radiograph showed a multilocular lesion, which can be confused with ameloblastoma, aneurysmal bone cyst, or odontogenic keratocyst. Hence, with proper clinical, radiographic, and histopathological examination, a correct diagnosis can be made and adequate treatment can be planned.
