Ten cases of myxoma of the jaw bones are presented. After an examination of the anatomical-clinical-radiological aspects and the micro- and macroscopic pathological anatomy, the authors present a histopathological differential diagnosis and in particular demonstrate that a diagnosis of myxoma is based upon its localization and the exclusion of any benign and malignant lesions due to myxoid. Conservative excision is the preferred treatment.

Odontogenic myxoma: A clinicopathological study over 15 years and immunohistochemical analysis.
Heliyon
October 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Objective: and rationale: Odontogenic myxoma is an uncommon odontogenic tumor with locally aggressive behavior. The clinicopathological studies of odontogenic myxoma in Asian countries are very limited and only few studies have investigated the immunohistochemical profiles of the tumor. This study aims to investigate the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of odontogenic myxoma at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University over a 15-year period.

Article Synopsis
- Managing segmental mandibular defects is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach, as traditional methods like reconstruction plates alone may not yield optimal results for patients.* -
- The use of integrated hybrid scaffold systems, which combine various materials for better mechanical support and tissue healing, shows promise in enhancing recovery outcomes in mandibular reconstruction.* -
- A study utilized 3D modeling and finite element analysis to develop and assess new reconstruction plates and a biomimetic bone scaffold, highlighting improvements in biomechanical performance for better treatment strategies.*
Odontogenic Myxomas Harbor Recurrent Copy Number Alterations and a Distinct Methylation Signature.
Am J Surg Pathol
October 2024
Department of Pathology and Medical Biology, University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Odontogenic myxoma is a rare and aggressive benign tumor found in jaw areas, with no known molecular mechanisms or diagnostic markers currently.
- The study examined DNA methylation and copy number variations in 16 odontogenic myxomas to uncover potential new diagnostic signatures using advanced genomic techniques.
- Findings revealed a unique DNA methylation profile and recurrent chromosomal gains in the tumors, suggesting these genetic characteristics could aid in diagnosis, but further research is necessary to understand their underlying genetic causes.
Virtual Surgical Planning and Customized Subperiosteal Implant for Reconstruction of Maxillary Defect After Oncological Resection.

Reconstructing defects after jaw tumor removal is difficult because of the complex facial skeleton, which affects patient nutrition and self-confidence. Traditional methods like iliac bone or fibula grafts take a long time and may raise aesthetic issues. Advancements in computer-aided three-dimensional (3D) modeling allow precise surgical planning, leading to more symmetrical reconstructions.
