Abstract 

Primary central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMC) of the jaws accounts only for 2–3% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas reported. Bhaskar in 1963 first analysed the criteria for his central origin, histology and pathogenesis. The authors report a long-term evolution case of CMC of the mandible with peculiar clinical features observed at the Department of Maxillo-Facial Surgery of the School of Medicine and Surgery of the “Federico II” University of Naples (Naples, Italy) examining histopathologic and clinical features and problems related to the treatment.
