Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common salivary gland malignancy. Central MEC (CMEC) is a rare tumor which affects women more than men and is more common in the mandible. Most cases are histologically classified as low-grade tumor and radiographically appear as well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesion, although this tumor causes destruction and metastasis to other organs. In this article, we present a rare case of CMEC in a 47-year-old woman with unilocular radiolucent lesion of the mandible. Early and accurate diagnostic approach in all lesions with clinical/radiographical bland appearance is important, and all possibilities such as a malignant lesion should be considered.
黏液表皮样癌（MEC）是最常见的涎腺恶性肿瘤。中央型黏液表皮样癌（CMEC）是一种罕见肿瘤，女性发病率高于男性，在下颌骨更为常见。大多数病例在组织学上被分类为低级别肿瘤，影像学上表现为边界清晰的单房或多房透射性病变，尽管该肿瘤会导致骨质破坏并转移至其他器官。在本文中，我们报告了一例罕见的47岁女性CMEC病例，其下颌骨有一单房透射性病变。对于所有临床/影像学表现不典型的病变，早期准确的诊断方法很重要，应考虑到包括恶性病变在内的所有可能性。
