Abstract

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare, locally aggressive benign tumour of odontogenic ectomesenchyme origin. The tumour may cause signifi cant facial disfi gurement and has a negative psychological impact on a child. Odontogenic myxoma has predilection for females in the second and third decades of life. The mandibular molar region is the most frequently affected site. It is imperative to detect the tumour early to avoid radical surgery and reduce local recurrences. This case study reports a case of a 9-year-old female patient
who presented with an expansile tumour that affected the entire left maxilla, perforated into the left maxillary sinus and completely occluded the sinus.
