Question 43 (part 2) · LDEK · Benign tumors
Indicate true statements regarding the odontogenic myxoma:
1) myxoma may be a reason for atypical periosteal reactions of solar-type glow imitating the presence of osteosarcoma, due to destroying of the cortical layer of bone;
2) most commonly (in around 75% of cases) it is accompanied by impacted tooth;
3) it most often develops in children in the 1st decade of life;
4) we distinguish central (intraosseous) and peripheral (extra-osseous) types, where central type is most common;
5) radiologic image of maxillary myxoma most often takes the form of frosted glass.
Correct answer is:

Myxoma peaks in young adults rather than children, and an unerupted tooth accompanies it only occasionally – use this to eliminate options.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
