Background: the odontogenic myxoma is a recurrent benign neoplasm that when it grows can generate pain, tooth mobility and dysesthesia. Prevalent in adults with an average between the 28.8 years and is rare in minors; It is more common in women. His prognosis is good after enucleation and its malignant transformation is rare.
Case report: 53 years old woman who attended the service of maxillofacial surgery by increase of volume in right geniana region, without other symptoms; He referred traumatic background by fall of 5 m in height at age 33. Her studies were carried out laboratory; the results were normal. Computerized axial tomography revealed poorly delimited hipodensa central image. The histopathology of the incisional biopsy report indicated Odontogenic myxoma, so it was decided to resection in block, with margins of safety. In the follow-up to a year without complications or recurrence.
Conclusions: described odontogenic myxoma presented in the right upper jaw, so it represented a challenge given the characteristics of the unusual location, it is crucial to recognize the progress of the lesion to individually regulate the therapeutic procedure.
