Maxillary resection for odontogenic myxoma: report of case. 1977

P B Cohen, and J W Gamble

A brief overview of the literature and a report of a resection of an odontogenic myxoma involving the right maxillary sinus are presented. We believe that a lesser surgical procedure might have compromised the patient's health by possible further surgical procedures with a resulting greater facial deformity or morbidity. Through careful evaluation and planning, problems of management were minimized.
