Central carcinoma occurred in the mandibula of a 49-year-old man which had been observed radiologically over about 7 years was clinically and pathohistologically examined.
The histological origin of jaw-centralized cancer is an odontogenic cyst in most cases, but those originated in the aberrant epithelium are rarely encountered. However, the established histological origin was unclear in this case.
Radiographically, a bone resorption in the surroundings of the inferior alveolar nerve bundle and irregular bone resorption in the mandibular ramus were predominantly observed in his right mandibula.
