N2 - Introduction In children, and specifically in infants, odontogenic myxomas are extremely rare. In infants, myxoma seems to display mostly the same clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics. This paper presents a series of odontogenic myxomas in infant patients.Materials and methods Four infant patients were included in this retrospective study. The clinical, radiological and pathological presentation was characterized and the treatment analysed.Results All patients presented with a rapidly evolving paranasal swelling. CT-scan showed a maxillary homogeneous unilocular and intraosseous tumour. In all cases, pathological examination revealed a loose myxoid stroma within stellate and spindle shaped cells. All patients underwent conservative surgery through a vestibular approach.Conclusion This patient series and a review of the literature demonstrates that odontogenic myxoma is specific in infant. We propose the name of Infant Odontogenic Myxoma for this entity.
