It mainly involves the parotid, palatal minor salivary glands and the submandibular salivary glands \unskip~\cite{610314:14246236}. Central involvement of the mandible or maxilla is known as central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) which is very uncommon and representing only about 2-4 \% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas[\cite{610314:14246237}. There are many theories of etiopathogenesis of these lesions. The most appropriate theories are (1) embryonic or iatrogenic entrapment of salivary tissue in bone and (2) salivary metaplasia of odontogenic cyst epithelium\unskip~\cite{610314:14246238}. Due to the rarity of the condition, literature on this distinct entity exists mostly as case reports. The risk factors and conditions associated with this disease remain unclear. The main stay of treatment is en bloc resection or hemimandibulectomy. \section{\textbf{Case Presentation:}} A 25 year old female reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the chief complaint of a slow growing, painless swelling in the left lower jaw since 2 years. Patient had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis which was treated 8 years ago. Systemic examination was unremarkable. History of photosensitivity was also present. Extra oral inspection revealed a diffuse swelling measuring 3X3 centimeter at the left side of body of mandible along with a butterfly rash over the malar region Figure~\ref{f-d8b93c74c6f9}. \bgroup \fixFloatSize{images/5b63d5cd-8fe6-4354-b0bb-578afef641a8-unew-picture-1.png} \begin{figure}[!htbp] \centering \makeatletter\IfFileExists{images/5b63d5cd-8fe6-4354-b0bb-578afef641a8-unew-picture-1.png}{\includegraphics{images/5b63d5cd-8fe6-4354-b0bb-578afef641a8-unew-picture-1.png}}{} \makeatother \caption{{Preoperative photograph showing slight swelling at left side of mandible and butter fly rash on face.}} \label{f-d8b93c74c6f9} \end{figure} \egroup On palpation swelling was hard and non-tender. On Intraoral inspection full complements of teeth were present and a bony expansion in the left body region was appreciable. A Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the face and neck revealed a 3X3X2.5cm osteoexpansile and osteodestructive lesion of the left body of mandible from canine to molar area involving the neurovascular bundle. There was an impacted third molar along with multiple specks /septae of calcification within the lesion along with bicortical expansion and perforation. Non-specific lymphadenopathy was noted in bilateral 1b regionFigure~\ref{f-a49400ac929d}. \bgroup \fixFloatSize{images/8d4e59cd-e4bc-4731-904d-3ea2f73ffafc-unew-picture-2.png} \begin{figure}[!htbp] \centering \makeatletter\IfFileExists{images/8d4e59cd-e4bc-4731-904d-3ea2f73ffafc-unew-picture-2.png}{\includegraphics{images/8d4e59cd-e4bc-4731-904d-3ea2f73ffafc-unew-picture-2.png}}{} \makeatother \caption{{CT-Axial photograph mandible showing bone destruction on left side of mandible}} \label{f-a49400ac929d} \end{figure} \egroup Butterfly rash was present on malar region and history of photosensitivity was also noted. Antinuclear antibody test (ANA) was done, which was positive. Anti ds-DNA was also positive. Biopsy was done from the buccal vestibule. Histopathologic examination revealed haphazardly distributed mucin filled cystic spaces and irregular tumor nests containing mucoid, squamoid and intermediate cells. The stroma showed extravasated pools of mucin with mild chronic inflammatory infiltrates.The mucoid cells showed abundant mucin and forming glandular pattern. The intermediate cells were polygonal in shape with bland nuclear chromatin and scant cytoplasm. The squamoid cells were pleomorphic with high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio,hyperchromatic nucleus with inconspicuous nucleoli and mild to moderate amount of cytoplasm.The findings were suggestive of mucoepidermoid carcinoma Figures~\ref{f-4f467c163fdc} and~\ref{f-51632a212e12}. \bgroup \fixFloatSize{images/437defbe-f813-4b9b-b6f5-4767317652c0-unew-picture-3.png} \begin{figure}[!htbp] \centering \makeatletter\IfFileExists{images/437defbe-f813-4b9b-b6f5-4767317652c0-unew-picture-3.png}{\includegraphics{images/437defbe-f813-4b9b-b6f5-4767317652c0-unew-picture-3.png}}{} \makeatother \caption{{Section showing sheets and nest of malignant ductal cells with mixed glandular, squamous and intermediate cells in the background of extracellular mucin (H\&E Stain,X10).}} \label{f-4f467c163fdc} \end{figure} \egroup \bgroup \fixFloatSize{images/f52ec394-ce2b-44f9-9572-bcf33e5b7ddc-unew-picture-4.png} \begin{figure}[!htbp] \centering \makeatletter\IfFileExists{images/f52ec394-ce2b-44f9-9572-bcf33e5b7ddc-unew-picture-4.png}{\includegraphics{images/f52ec394-ce2b-44f9-9572-bcf33e5b7ddc-unew-picture-4.png}}{} \makeatother \caption{{Section showing multiple cystic spaces lined by mucin producing cells with polygonal intermediate cells intermixed with squamoid cells without significant keratinisation (H\&E Stain, x40).}} \label{f-51632a212e12} \end{figure} \egroup The course of SLE in this case was monophasic as there was no any other organ involvement and disease presentation except mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Based on the radiological and histopathological findings, segmental mandibulectomy from the angle of the left side to lateral incisor of right side was done (the anterior margin of resection was extended based on intra operative finding of marrow infiltration beyond radiographic margin)Figure~\ref{f-6d15adaa7324}. Bony reconstruction was not done as the patient was unwilling for further surgical morbidity of the donor site.

No recurrence was seenFigure~\ref{f-c555122d2737}. \section{Discussion:} The incidence of CMEC in women is almost twice compared to males. Eversole et.al reported that roughly 50\% of mandibular CEMECs were associated with dental cysts and/or impacted teeth \unskip~\cite{610314:14246238}. This finding was consistent with our case. Additionally the clinical, radiologic and histological findings of the lesion satisfied the diagnostic criteria of CMEC\unskip~\cite{610314:14246239}. The biologic behaviour and prognosis of CMEC correlates with the histologic grading with low grade tumours having more favourable prognosis\unskip~\cite{610314:14246236,610314:14246237,610314:14246240}. Additionally younger age is considered a favourable prognostic factor \unskip~\cite{610314:14246241}. Based on the histologic findings this case was classified as low grade CMEC \unskip~\cite{610314:14246236}. Fortunately most CMEC usually are low grade with fair prognosis having an overall survival rate of 95.1\% and disease free survival rate of 87.5\% as reported by Ozawa et. Al [\cite{610314:14246241}. Optimal management of CMEC is en bloc resection or hemimandibulectomy. Conservative approaches cause recurrence. Brookstone and Huvos reported recurrence rate of 40\% with conservative approaches such as marsupialisation, curettage and enucleation while only 4\% recurrence was observed with aggressive treatment such as segmental resection with or without neck dissection and advujant therapy\unskip~\cite{610314:14246242}. Neck dissection is done in case of nodal involvement \unskip~\cite{610314:14246236,610314:14246237,610314:14246239,610314:14246243}. Although MEC is considered to be radio resistant, postoperative radiotherapy has been shown to improve loco-regional control \unskip~\cite{610314:14246241}. Adjuvant Radiotherapy is recommended in the case of close or positive margins and in intermediate to high grade tumours\unskip~\cite{610314:14246236,610314:14246237,610314:14246239,610314:14246241,610314:14246242,610314:14246243,610314:14246244}. Keeping in mind the tendency of perineural invasion of the tumour resection margin was extended to 2.5 cm beyond the radiographic margin and the anterior margin further advanced intra-operatively based on the suspicion of probable marrow invasion. The suspicion was confirmed by the final histopathology report which revealed disease 2.5 cm from the posterior margin but only 2cm from anterior margin. All margins of the final specimen measuring 8cmx3cmx2cm were tumour free with no evidence of perineural invasion and only reactive hyperplasia of the Level I nodes. In addition to the rarity of CMEC the peculiarity of this case lies in its association with SLE. Over the past few decades it has become increasingly clear that patients with SLE are known to have an increased risk of head and neck cancers. However it is also possible that SLE and a cancer presenting together represent lupus as a paraneoplastic manifestation. Specifically, lupus patients have higher risk of lymphoma and other cancers, like, cancer of the cervix. Researchers have elucidated certain connections between lupus and cancer [\cite{610314:14246245}. \textbf{Learning Points:} 1. Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) is very uncommon malignant tumour. 2. CMEC associated with SLE have not been reported in literature. Probably it is first reported case. 3. Patients having SLE have increased risk of cancers. 4. Surgical resection is the main stay of treatment. {\fontsize{8}{9.6}\selectfont \bibliographystyle{vancouver} \bibliography{\jobname}} \end{document}
