Odontogenic myxoma is a benign, rare neoplasm of mesenchymal origin comprising of 3%-6% of all odontogenic tumors. Odontogenic myxoma occurs more commonly in the second and third decade and is more commonly seen in mandible compared with maxilla but behaves more aggressively in maxilla as it spreads through the maxillary antrum. It is usually associated with a painless swelling without any symptoms. The radiographic features are similar to other odontogenic tumors, and hence, it leads to diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, thorough knowledge regarding clinical, radiographical, and histopathological features are important to arrive at a proper treatment protocol as it shows a high recurrence rate. The aim of this paper was to present a rare case of 21-year-old male with a chief complaint of swelling in the left maxilla that infiltrated the maxillary sinus in a very short duration.

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.*
Mandibular Condylar Head Regeneration Owing to Remodeling of the Costochondral Graft After Condylectomy for Odontogenic Myxoma.

Odontogenic myxoma of the mandibular condyle is a rare tumor that requires complete surgical resection because of the tendency for recurrence. The right mandibular condyle was resected to remove the myxoma. The author performed immediate condylar reconstruction using a costochondral graft (CCG), and stable temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function and occlusion were achieved.

The acetylation of histones H2A on lysine 5 (H2AacK5) and H3 on lysine 27 (H3AcK27) modulate several cellular mechanisms through the p300 enzyme in pathological lesions; however, their role in odontogenic lesions has not been addressed. This study aims to evaluate the immunoexpression of p300, H2AacK5, and H3AcK27 in samples of ameloblastoma (AMB) (n = 30), odontogenic keratocyst (OK) (n = 15), adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) (n = 10), odontogenic fibroma (OF) (n = 8), calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) (n = 8), odontogenic myxoma (MIX) (n = 10), and ameloblastic fibroma (AF) (n = 06). The percentage of p300-positive cells was higher in AOT and decreased in COC, OK, AMB, AF, OF, and MIX.

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.
