Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandible - a rare case report
2014
Introduction: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common salivary gland malignancy. The majority of these tumors arises in the parotid and minor salivary glands but may rarely develop intraosseously. Primary intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PIOC) of the jaw bones is an extremely rare malignant salivary gland tumor. Very few cases have been reported in the literature to date. Case report: The current manuscript highlights clinical and radiographic features of a rare case of PIOC in a 32 year old Indian female patient. Conclusion: All the dental practitioners should be aware of the protean features of central MEC. These lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis of unilocular and multilocular radiolucent lesions of the jaws. An early and accurate diagnosis is important so that the neoplastic transformation must be identified and treated effectively.
Central Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Mandible: A Case Report
The KITAKANTO Medical Journal, 2004
Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMC) is an uncommon tumor, comprising 2-3 % of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas reported. The majority of cases occurring in the 4th and 5th decades of life and they are histologically low-grade malignant neoplasm usually affecting the mandible. The case presented is a 41 year old woman with central mucoepidermoid carcinoma at the left posterior of the mandible as a swelling with purulent discharge since last year. Radiographic examination showed a radiolucent lesion with well-defined borders in distal area of ┌8.

Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare lesion, whose exact pathogenesis is still not fully understood. Generally, it is more frequently encountered in the mandible than in the maxilla and in the posterior than in the anterior aspect of the jaws. Cases of central mucoepidermoid carcinomas are rarely mentioned in the literature, and therefore, additional information concerning this type of lesion is needed. In the present paper, we report an extremely unusual case of a central mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the anterior region of the mandible of a 37-year-old female patient. The diagnosis and the surgical management of the tumor along with the reconstructive techniques utilized to restore the mandible and a 6-year follow-up are discussed. Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma is an unusual tumor of the jaws, especially in the anterior region. It is only locally aggressive and has most frequently a good prognosis if treated with wide surgical excision.

Background Primary central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of jaws is a rare lesion comprising 2–3% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas reported in literature. Case presentation The case presented here illustrates the hypothesis that its specific pathogenesis is unknown. Conclusions Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the jaw is a rare tumour of unknown aetiology. Although about a 100 cases has been reported in literature, the speculation on its aetiopathogenesis has mainly centred on the pluripotential capabilities of the epithelial lining of odontogenic cysts.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumour. Central mucoepidermoid carcinomas (CMC) are an exceedingly rare subgroup, representing 2-4% of all cases. The authors report on a case of CMC in a patient who presented with trigeminal neuropathy, trismus and distant metastasis. The possible pathogenesis of CMC and criteria for diagnosis are discussed.
