Odontogenic myxoma--a radiographic study of 21 tumours.

Radiological features of 21 odontogenic myxomas found in 14 women and 7 men were analysed. Ten of the tumors were unilocular and 11 were multilocular. Unilocular lesions were mostly located in the anterior and multilocular in the posterior areas of the jaws. Intralesional trabeculation was seen in all multilocular but only in 3 unilocular lesions. Because radiological appearance of myxoma may be essentially similar with many other lesions of the jaws careful radiological examination is mandatory for planning of proper treatment.
