© 2022 The Author(s)Introduction and importance: Odontogenic fibromyxoma is generally slow-growing, benign, asymptomatic, present with painless swelling in the jaw. Pain is mostly seen in the case of infection, adjacent anatomical structures or neural involvement. When the English-language literature is searched, only 62 cases are found about odontogenic fibromxoma which means it is really rare pathology. Case presentation: We describe a case of odontogenic fibromyxoma in a 29-year-old female with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) who referred to oral and maxillofacial surgeon with increased swelling in the anterior region of the mandible. Clinical discussion: Clinically, there was swelling in the mouth that caused bone expansion. On the radiological examination, a well-circumscribed, radiolucent area causing displacement of the tooth roots was observed. After clinical and radiological examinations, the operation was done under local anesthesia. The excised lesion was sent for histopathological investigation and the patient was followed up clinically and radiologically for 3 years. Conclusion: The clinical and radiological properties, differential diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis of odontogenic fibromyxomas are also discussed after the case presentation along with literature review.
