Myxoma of the jaw bones

Myxoma is a peculiar and rare bone tumor of the jaws. During the last 50 years, 10 such cases were treated in the Memorial‐Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Six were in the mandible and four in the maxilla. During that period, 8,723 primary bone tumors were treated in this hospital. Although this tumor is histologically benign, it has the potentiality of local invasion of the bone. Excision of the underlying bone whenever involved by the tumor should be done.
