The diagnosis of a mucoepidermoid tumor of the mandible has been made by pathological examination. This asymptomatic tumor was discovered on a routine radiographic film. Our 44 years old male patient was treated by surgical means. We have found 62 cases in the literature; intra-osseous cases of mucoepidermoid tumor seem to be rather scarce. Let us recall the presence of salivary glands in the mandible, a possible explanation of the occurrence of intra-osseous glandular tumor.
