Radiographic findings of odontogenic myxomas on conventional radiographs.

Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is a rare tumour arising in the jaws. The tumour is believed to be of odontogenic origin due to the close relation to teeth. The radiographic appearance of OM is not specific and the diagnosis is frequently unexpected following surgical removal of the lesion. The aim of this study was to analyse the radiographic appearance of OM on conventional radiographs. This type of radiographic diagnosis is typically used by dental practitioners.
