title: Peripheral myxoma of the infratemporal region: An unusual case report.
abstract: Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare locally invasive benign neoplasm, almost exclusively occurring in the jawbones, comprising 3-6% of all the odontogenic tumors. The mandible is more commonly involved than the maxilla. Intraoral soft tissue myxoma is an extremely rare lesion and only few reports are available in the literature. We present probably the first of its kind in literature a soft tissue OM occurring in an unusual location: the infratemporal fossa.
