The odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon tumor that has the potential for extensive bony destruction, extension into surrounding structures, and a relatively high recurrence rate. Treatment often requires bone resection. The bland histologic features of a monotonous proliferation of a loose, mesenchymal fibrous tissue that lacks atypia may easily lead to a misdiagnosis. The primitive dental pulp, the dental papilla, and the tooth follicle are histologically similar to myxoma. These soft tissue fragments often separate from extracted developing teeth that are submitted to the pathologist and may easily be misinterpreted as an odontogenic myxoma. The pathologist must have good clinical and radiographic correlation to avoid a misdiagnosis and to prevent unnecessary additional surgery.
