title: Swelling of the mandible and ipsilateral submandibular space.
abstract: Myxomas are relatively rare benign tumors, occurring almost exclusively in the jawbones. The origin of these tumors is still in dispute. A case of an advanced myxoma of the mandible in a 53-year-old man, with invasion of the surrounding soft tissues, is presented and discussed.
