%X UNASSIGNED: Odontogenic myxoma is one of the benign mesenchymal odontogenic tumours with aggressive behaviour and showed slow and asymptomatic expansion, the second until the third decade of life is the most targeted age group. With high female preponderance, about the management, surgical management is the only option concerning this odontogenic pathology with a variety of treatment options. This study aims to analyse a series of 37 patients with odontogenic myxoma treated in a single institution.
UNASSIGNED: In total, 37 patients with odontogenic myxoma were treated at KTDH in Sudan and were retrospectively reviewed. With the analysis of medical records of all patients diagnosed with odontogenic myxoma and the related variables, data were analysed using the SPSS statistical program (version 23).
UNASSIGNED: Most of the cases were females (26 patients 70.27%), and males were about (11 patients 29.73%). In most of the cases maxilla was affected more than the mandible (25 cases, 67.57%) mostly in its posterior segment (32 cases, 86.49). The most age group affected was the group of cases (0-20) which were about 18 cases (48.65%). In total, 35 of the cases noticed swelling (94.59%), while 14 noticed tooth mobility (37.84%) and paraesthesia was a positive finding in just one case (2.70%). In total, 12 patients (32.43%) had a positive history of tooth extraction related to the lesion, and recurrence was positive in (64, 86%).
UNASSIGNED: Odontogenic myxoma is locally aggressive. There is no gold standard protocol for surgical treatment so choosing the most suitable and reliable treatment option relay on the operator taking into consideration the characteristic of each case and the recurrence rate with the associated postoperative impairments.
