Abstract

BACKGROUND: Odontogenic tumors in children are relatively rare, and among these, intraosseous odontogenic myxoma is particularly uncommon, making up a small proportion of paediatric odontogenic tumors, with a reported incidence ranging from 8,5% to 11,6% of all cases [Forte et al., 2025]. The histopathological confirmation for a definitive diagnosis is required in all cases. CASE REPORT: A paediatric case of maxillary odontogenic myxoma is documented. This report highlights the clinical features, diagnostic challenges, therapeutic approach and follow-up protocol chosen for patient's treatment. CONCLUSION: To provide insights into the clinical management of OM, focusing on multidisciplinary approach and timely intervention.
