Rationale: This is a 14-year-old girl with odontogenic myxoma of the right posterior mandibular region, which was managed conservatively by intraoral marginal mandibulectomy rather than segmental mandibulectomy.
Patient Concerns: The patient and her parents were concerned about her aesthetics.
Diagnosis: The patient came with the complaint of swelling on the right lower back tooth region of the jaw, which was not associated with pain. On palpation, the swelling was bony hard and there was buccolingual expansion. On radiographic examination, there was a sunray appearance. Histopathological examination confirmed it to be an odontogenic myxoma.
Treatment: Marginal mandibulectomy was done for the patient. The whole procedure was done intraorally and closed using primary closure.
Outcomes: Postoperatively, the patient was asymptomatic and is on follow-up.
Take-away Lessons: We can say that odontogenic myxoma can be managed conservatively.
