A case of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma associated with dentigerous cyst

Abstract: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland neoplasm. Central MEC (CMEC) is a rare primary intraosseous bony lesion with an incidence of 2%–4.3% of all MECs reported. In this article, we present a rare case of a CMEC in the anterior region of maxilla at a 43-year-old female patient that was arising from a dentigerous cyst. CMECs are extremely rare tumor. They are usually low-grade lesions with favorable prognosis. Odontogenic cysts are one of the origins of this lesion. Treatment… Show more

“…4 Central MEC (CMEC) is a rare primary intraosseous bony lesion with an incidence of 2%-4.3% of all MECs reported, which occurs almost always in the mandible and MEC of the maxilla presenting as dentigerous cyst is extremely rare. 5 Clinical features of MEC of the hard palate are usually a persistent swelling which is soft in consistency, slowgrowing and painless. However, if the lesion has a secondary infection then it can present with pain and pus discharge.…”

“…18 Pada beberapa laporan kasus disebutkan bahwa kista dentigerous juga dapat menimbulkan komplikasi atau berhubungan dengan kasus yang lebih serius seperti ameloblastoma dan squamous cell carcinoma yang diduga berasal dari transformasi epithelial lining kista ataupun mucoepidermoid carcinoma yang berasal dari sel mucus pada tepi kista. [21][22][23] Tindakan follow-up pada pasien dengan kasus yang diduga sebagai sebuah kista dentigerous menjadi penting untuk diagnosis dini guna tercapainya kesembuhan dan keberhasilan perawatan.…”
