Abstract
Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMC) is a rare osseous neoplasm occurring most often in the fourth to seventh decades of life. Its usual presentation is one of a locally destructive radiolucent lesion found primarily in the mandible, in the premolar region. No reported case to date has shown a mixed radiolucent-radiopaque expression of this tumor. The objective of this article is to report such a case: a CMC that presented an atypical radiographic appearance of a mixed lesion.Entities:
