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.
颌骨原发性中央黏液表皮样癌是一种罕见病变,占文献报道的所有黏液表皮样癌的2% - 3%。病例报告:此处呈现的病例说明了其具体发病机制尚不清楚这一假说。结论:颌骨黏液表皮样癌是一种病因不明的罕见肿瘤。尽管文献中已报道了约100例病例,但其病因发病机制的推测主要集中在牙源性囊肿上皮衬里的多能性能力上。
