Abstract :
Benign odontogenic lesions are rare entities but are very important due to their locally aggressive nature. Odontogenic myxomais even rarer in children than in adults. There is no evidence in the literature in regard to the best treatment approach, in terms ofconservative or aggressive surgery, for this type of tumor. This paper reports a case of odontogenic myxoma in a child treated with acompromised approach through bone osteotomies and a review of the literature about this disease, especially in pediatric patients.
