Received 2 February 2008; revised 26 March 2008; accepted 1 April 2008

Primary intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PIOC) of the jaw bones is an extremely rare malignant salivary gland tumour. It is commonly seen in the posterior part of the mandible; its occurrence in the maxilla is rare. The aetiopathogenesis of the PIOC is not completely understood. Radiographic examination is one of the effective methods for detecting PIOC. We report a case of PIOC of the maxilla.

Keywords: intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma, maxilla
