“…The aetiopathogenetic mechanism underlying the development of IMEC remains unknown. Theories attempting to explain the origin of IMEC include neoplastic transformation of (i) ectopic salivary gland tissue developmentally entrapped within the jaws, (ii) maxillary sinus or submucosal seromucinous glands extending into the jaws, and (iii) odontogenic epithelium that lines odontogenic cysts (ODC) . The latter postulate is supported by (i) mucous prosoplastic phenomena occasionally present in the epithelial lining of ODCs, and (ii) the reported coexistence of IMEC and ODC in 32–48% of cases …”

“…Long-standing lesions may have associated altered nerve sensations. The symptom in our patient was swelling, as was the case with most of the patients in the study by He et al 5. Based on the clinical staging proposed by Brookstone and Huvos, which is based on the condition of the overlying bone, we staged the patient as stage III.…”

The cornerstone modality of treatment of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) of the mandible is surgery, optimally, an en bloc resection with/without segmental or hemimandibulectomy. Notwithstanding the documentation of a survival benefit in few case reports with the addition of postoperative radiotherapy in carefully selected high-risk patients, there does not exist a clearly defined consensus regarding the role of adjuvant radiotherapy. We report the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with right lower jaw swelling which on imaging was found to be a multiloculated lesion causing bony expansion and cortical destruction of the mandible and was diagnosed with CMEC after radiological and histopathological criteria were met. He underwent right hemimandibulectomy and histopathology showed squamous and mucinous cells with positive mucicarmine staining and characteristic immunohistochemistry markers confirming the diagnosis of CMEC. He subsequently underwent adjuvant radiotherapy and is disease free 5 years since treatment completion.
