Introduction: Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a very rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands, it has the ability to develop in any part of the mouth, being the molar premolar area and mandibular angle the most frequent sites of its finding.
Objective: To report the case of a low grade intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the jaw, in an older adult patient who was diagnosed in an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service after being referred by a general private dentist.
Methods: A clinical examination was carried out and indicated the taking of panoramic radiography, tomography and incisional biopsy.
Results: The biopsy resulted in intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma and was later transferred to the Oncology Service.
Conclusion: Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma is an infrequent pathology, with a favorable prognosis when it is detected early and has similar characteristics to other not so aggressive pathologies.
