The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a neoplasm originating from both major and minor salivary glands, and its incidence is the highest concerning the parotid gland in major salivary glands and at the palate in minor salivary glands.Its incidence is said to be comparatively low in the mandible.
We have recently experienced one case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma considered to have occurred in the mandible in a 48-year-old woman, and reported on it with some comments based on the literature.
