Source abstract
Odontogenic fibromyxoma is a rare benign tumor that arises from mesenchymal components of the tooth-forming apparatus and typically occurs in the alveolar process of the jaws. We are reporting an atypical case of an incidental tumor located in the mandibular condyle of a child, an area not associated with odontogenic tissue. The lesion was identified through imaging and confirmed histopathologically after surgical excision. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an odontogenic fibromyxoma in the condyle of a pediatric patient.
