Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the jawbones is an extremely rare malignant tumour involving maxillary sinus. We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the maxillary sinus in a 10-year old male patient developing from a previously diagnosed dentigerous cyst. An excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathological features confirmed mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The origin of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma could be suggested to be from the epithelial lining of previously diagnosed dentigerous cyst. Thus, emphasizing the need for careful examination of the entire excision specimen to rule out such neoplastic transformation of epithelial lining of odontogenic cyst and provide appropriate and effective treatment.
