Myxoma of the jaw bone is a peculiar and rare tumor. A case of myxoma of the mandible is described in a 38-year-old man. The plain X-ray sho wed multiple osteolytic destructive lesions in the molar root area. CT scans demonstrated osteolytic expansile lesions with mild enhancement of the solid portion of the mass. Histologically, the tumor is compos ed of plump stellate cells with abundant amorphous myxoid stroma.
