The primary central salivary gland neoplasms of the mandible are rare. They look clinically and radiographically similar to the odontogenic tumours or cysts which are common in the mandible. Myoepithelial carcinoma is a malignant counter part of myoepithelioma. Their diagnosis mainly depends only on thorough histopathological examination. This paper is to report a case of extra salivary tumour, intraosseous myoepithelial carcinoma of right ramus of the mandible. This case report serves to increase awareness and improve the index of diagnosis.
下颌骨原发性中央唾液腺肿瘤较为罕见。它们在临床和影像学上与下颌骨常见的牙源性肿瘤或囊肿相似。肌上皮癌是肌上皮瘤的恶性对应物。它们的诊断主要仅依赖于全面的组织病理学检查。本文报告一例下颌骨右支骨内唾液腺外肿瘤——肌上皮癌。本病例报告旨在提高认识并改善诊断指标。
