Abstract
Salivary gland tumors makes up 3–4% of all head and neck cancers, mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant locally recurrent variant of salivary gland carcinoma. .In this short communication we are presenting a rare entity of mandible “intramedullary mucoepidermoid carcinoma” treated with wide local excision (composite resection) with modified radical neck dissection followed by reconstruction with free fibula osteocutaneous flap.
