Abstract
Odontogenic myxoma is a rare benign tumor of ectomesenchymal origin, which can arise from
dental papilla, follicle or periodontal ligament. Most commonly it arises from mandible followed by
maxilla. We report a case of odontogenic myxoma in a 23 years old female who came with
complaint of painless swelling in left mandible. CT scan revealed an expansile radiolucent lesion
involving the left mandible body with cortical thinning and mild destruction at few places. Biopsy
was done which was suggestive of odontogenic myxoma. Surgery was done and odontogenic
myxoma was proved on the biopsy.
