Odontogenic myxoma (OM) is an intraosseous, locally aggressive neoplasm that occurs almost exclusively in tooth-bearing areas of the mandible and maxilla. The histopathological presentation of OM consists of spindle/stellate cells embedded in an abundant mucoid matrix. Radiographically, this lesion shows varied multilocular radiolucency varying from a soap bubble to a tennis racquet or honeycomb pattern. OM, uncommonly occurring in nontooth-bearing regions, has been reported to be rare. This paper includes a case report of a 34-year-old female patient who reported swelling in her right preauricular region, and a histopathological investigation confirmed a diagnosis of OM of the right mandibular condyle. Surgical excision of the pathology and reconstruction with bone graft was performed under general anesthesia, and follow-up at regular intervals was done.
