Odontogenic myxoma of the maxilla.
Myxomas are mostly seen in the 2(th) and 3(rd) decades. They rarely occur in childhood and maxillofacial region is rarely involved. The recurrence incidence is high. We report this unusual case occurring in a 9-year-old girl in the maxillofacial region and recurrence four months after initial treatment.
