Fibromyxoma is a rare benign odontogenic tumor of mesenchymal origin,
but locally aggressive. Here, we report the case of a 47-year-old female
who presented with a range of symptoms. These included a swollen left
cheek, pain on the left side of her face, juicy discharge from the left
nostril, and hearing loss in the left ear. The patient had been
experiencing facial swelling on the left side for 6 months.
On February 6, 2024, a biopsy of the paranasal cavity confirmed the
presence of a fibromyxoma. The results of a crucial radiological
examination revealed a large mass lesion suspected to be in the
maxillary sinus, with expansion and mass effect and mild bone lysis.
These findings played a pivotal role in determining the course of the
patient's treatment. The lesion was totally excised, and the defect was
filled with an anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap. The
histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of fibromyxoma.
The patient's healing process was uneventful, reflecting the accuracy of
the diagnosis. Complete tumor removal should be considered to ensure no
remnants are attached to the soft tissue or bone due to the well-known
potential for fibromyxomas to recur. |
