Myxomas are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, which consist of many undifferentiated stellate and spindle-shaped cells in abundant loose myxoid stroma with collagen fibers. A 74-year-old patient presented in our oral and maxillofacial department with a slow growing mass within the upper lip. The mass was surgically excised in the toto, followed by a histological and immunohistochemical examination. The findings revealed that it was a myxoma. These tumors are very rare and should be included in the differential diagnosis of damage of the upper lip. As long as the myxoma is properly removed, there is no risk of recurrence.
