Myxoma of the maxilla: report of case.
A review of the literature and a report of a case of myxoma of the maxilla in a 1-year-old Negro girl have been presented. This case is interesting because of its rarity at this age and its location. Originally, a Weber-Ferguson approach was considered. However, a transoral approach provided excellent access for complete visualization and removal of the tumor. This reinforces the advantages to the patient that result from the cooperation of different surgical services.
