CRUZ VILLCA, Marcia B.; AILLON LOPEZ, Huáscar  y  TRUJILLO, Carlos. Carcinoma mucoepidermoide central: reporte de un caso. Cuad. - Hosp. Clín. [online]. 2007, vol.52, n.1, pp.87-89. ISSN 1562-6776.

We present the case of a patient who consulted with the Unit of Stomatology and Bucomaxilofacial Surgery of the Hospital de Clínicas in La Paz. The patient referred burning pain and an ulcerous lesion on the left alveolar edge of the mandibula of approximately 6 months evolution. The patient was submitted to an excision biopsy under general anaesthesia for the respective histopathological examination. The result showed CENTRAL MUCOEPIDERMOID CARCINOMA. Given the low frequency of this malignant tumour, we were motivated to present this case with a bibliographic review.

Palabras clave : Central Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma; oral CA.
