Remoção de tumor benigno do tipo mixoma relato de caso

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The benign neoplasm known as odontogenic myxoma is characterized as a benign, infiltrative odontogenic lesion that occurs in the jaws, preferably in the mandibles. The term myxoma was created in 1863 due to the fact that it is a pathology that continues mucin, similarly to the umbilical cord. It is a characteristic tumor in hard tissues and can also affect soft tissues, such as skin, heart and among others. OBJECTIVES: To review the literature on odontogenic myxomas, reflecting and understanding the classics that deal with the clinic, diagnosis and the possibilities of treatments that benefit the patient's quality of life. BACKGROUND: Observing the absence of precise literature dealing with myxomas, as well as the exploration of the topic, it was noted the feasibility of elaborating this research project and bibliographic review with emphasis on the dissemination of knowledge about odontogenic myxomas and their particularities of treatment, clinic and the pathology itself. METHODOLOGY: The methodology used was a literature review, characterized as descriptive with a critical and reflective nature. The research was developed from May 2021 to May 2022. It was based on a literature review, using scientific articles, taken from the database of virtual health libraries (BVS) and Scientific Electronic Library Online. Theoretical references published in the last ten years were chosen. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The accurate and early diagnosis can effectively help the patient in the treatment of the odontogenic myxoma tumor, giving a better quality of life and discarding possible differential diagnoses. Currently, virtual surgical planning has been used as a fundamental auxiliary tool in the management of complex cases. This technology provides a three-dimensional platform for osteotomies and positioning guidelines that can optimize preoperative planning and intraoperative execution.
