Occurrence of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma within the jaw bones from aberrant salivary tissues is extremely rare and accounts for 2%-4% of all central mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Mandible is more commonly affected than maxilla in a ratio of 2:1. The origin of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is controversial and questionable. Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma is frequently misdiagnosed radiographically and clinically as a benign odontogenic tumor or cyst. Hence, it is important to detect malignant signs and histopathological feature of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandible to confirm the diagnosis. This paper reports a case of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandible in a 56-year-old patient with review of literature.
颌骨内由异位涎腺组织发生的中央型黏液表皮样癌极为罕见,占所有中央型黏液表皮样癌的2%-4%。下颌骨比上颌骨更常受累,比例为2:1。黏液表皮样癌的起源存在争议且尚无定论。中央型黏液表皮样癌在影像学和临床上常被误诊为良性牙源性肿瘤或囊肿。因此,检测下颌骨中央型黏液表皮样癌的恶性征象和组织病理学特征对于确诊至关重要。本文报告一例56岁患者下颌骨中央型黏液表皮样癌病例,并对相关文献进行复习。
