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.
中央型黏液表皮样癌是一种罕见的病变,其确切发病机制仍未完全明确。一般来说,它在下颌骨比在上颌骨更常见,在颌骨后部比前部更常见。文献中很少提及中央型黏液表皮样癌的病例,因此,需要更多关于这类病变的信息。
在本文中,我们报告了一例极为罕见的中央型黏液表皮样癌病例,患者为一名37岁女性,肿瘤位于下颌骨前部。文中讨论了肿瘤的诊断、手术治疗以及用于修复下颌骨的重建技术,并进行了6年的随访。
中央型黏液表皮样癌是颌骨的一种罕见肿瘤,尤其是在颌骨前部。它仅具有局部侵袭性,如果采用广泛手术切除治疗,通常预后良好。
