Abstract

Abstract: Primar y intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma of jaw bones is commonly seen in the posterior part of the mandible; its occurrence in the anterior part of the maxilla is rare. We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma suspected to arise in the maxilla intraosseously. The patient was a 55-year-old man with a swelling in the right maxillary region. The tumor, measuring 25 × 20 mm, was located in the anterior portion of the right maxillary region. The tumor was diagnosed as an intermediate-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma on histological examination of a biopsy specimen. Under general anesthesia, the tumor was surgically removed with surrounding healthy tissue. Histological examination showed an intermediategrade mucoepidermoid carcinoma including few mucous cells. There has been no evidence of recurrence or metastasis after 3 and a half years of postoperative follow-up.
