Odontogenic myxoma is a rare, benign tumor that originates from the mesenchymal tissue associated with tooth development.It typically occurs in the jaws, most commonly in the mandible. This tumor is often slow-growing and asymptomatic, which can lead to delayed diagnosis. Odontogenic myxoma is usually discovered incidentally on routine dental radiographs or when it causes swelling or displacement of nearby teeth. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, often with a wide margin to prevent recurrence. While odontogenic myxoma is benign, it tends to infiltrate surrounding tissues, which can make complete removal challenging and increase the risk of recurrence. Regular follow-up with imaging studies is often recommended to monitor for recurrence. We discuss a case of OM with dentigerous cyst in a 25-year-old man.
