Abstract
Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a relatively rare variant of the histologically identical malignant tumor affecting salivary glands. It is a recently described separate nosological entity with a clearly defined histopathological feature.
To date, only hundreds of cases of this disease have been reported in the literature worldwide. According to its typical occurrence this tumor is classified as a primary intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw.
In the present paper, the authors describe two patients with this diagnosis, in both cases with tumors afflicting upper jaw diagnosed and treated at the Department of maxillofacial surgery in Pilsen since the years 2008. The treatment outcomes are evaluated after five-year follow-up.
