Odontogenic myxoma is a locally aggressive benign neoplasm with a low prevalence (frequency 2% to 5% of odontogenic tumors) in the jaws. This tumor often presents as an asymptomatic expansive lesion without sensory nerve changes. The aim of this study is to detail the case of a 42-year-old male patient who attends the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery service of the Hipólito Unanue National Hospital due to a slow-growing tumor in the upper jaw, which increased in size over time and displacing dental organs, and extending to the hard palate and part of the soft palate, the pathological diagnosis was odontogenic myxoma and received radical treatment (hemimaxilectomy) due to the aggressive nature of the tumor. In this work we discuss the presentation of odontogenic myxoma in the maxilla, treatment approaches; detailing the importance of proposing treatment alternatives that allow immediate re...

El mixoma odontogénico es una neoplasia benigna, localmente agresiva, con una baja prevalencia (frecuencia del 2% al 5% de los tumores odontogénicos) en los maxilares. Este tumor a menudo se presenta como una lesión expansiva asintomática sin cambios nerviosos sensoriales. El objetivo del presente trabajo es detallar el caso de un paciente masculino de 42 años quien acude al servicio de Cirugía Bucal y Maxilofacial del Hospital Nacional Hipólito Unanue por presentar una tumoración de crecimiento lento en maxilar superior, que fue aumentando de tamaño con el tiempo y desplazando órganos dentarios, y que se extiende al paladar duro y parte de paladar blando, el diagnóstico anatomopatológico fue de mixoma odontogénico y recibió un tratamiento radical (hemimaxilectomia) por la naturaleza agresiva del tumor. En este trabajo discutimos la presentación del mixoma odonto...

Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis is a serious infection that involves the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, and the superficial-deep fascia, it progresses very quickly, and if not treated in time it can cause death. Report case: We present the case of an adult patient with a history of anemia, who was diagnosed with odontogenic necrotizing fasciitis, for which she underwent surgery and underwent intraoral and extraoral drainage plus escharectomy. In addition, pharmacological treatment (intravenous antibiotics) was administered, and an amniotic membrane was placed as a dressing material to reconstruct the hemorrhagic surface left by the necrotizing fasciitis. Conclusions: The amniotic membrane as a dressing material presented favorable results in the patient, obtaining a rapid regeneration of the sequel produced by necrotizing fasciitis.
