Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a previously enucleated radiolucent lesion in the mandible. A case report.

Central muco epidermoid carcinomas (CMC) are rare tumours, representing about 2 to 3% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Usually affecting the mandible, they appear as uni- or multilocular radiolucent lesions. We report a case of CMC in a 52-year-old Middle Eastern woman who presented with pain, limitation of jaw movement and tingling sensation of the tongue, related to a radiolucent lesion in the angle of the mandible.
