title: [Myxoma of the mandible. A case report].
abstract: Maxillo-mandibular myxomas are rare lesions and their pathogeny remains unclear. The poor clinical picture and the absence of pain makes the diagnosis difficult. Because of the long lasting course, the tumor is usually large at the time of diagnosis. Although this tumor is benign, the local aggression and the high rate of recurrence dictate a radical treatment.
