Myoxomas of the jaws.
A retrospective study on 15 patients with myxomas of the jaws was carried out. Follow-up information was obtained in 10 patients. Clinical, radiologic, and microscopic features were examined and the results of extensive resection versus conservative surgery were evaluated. The results seem to be in favor of the latter. Four cases are presented in detail.
