Recurrent odontogenic myxofibroma of the mandible in a 12 year old: an illustrative case report.

Clinical and radiographic features of a large, destructive, unilateral recurrent lesion of mandible in a 12 year old boy histologically proved as myxofibroma are described here. The purpose of this article is to lay emphasis on the importance of early diagnosis of such lesions so that further recurrence can be prevented.
