The primary central salivary gland neoplasms of the mandible are rare. They look clinically and radiographically similar to the odontogenic tumours or cysts which are common in the mandible. Myoepithelial carcinoma is a malignant counter part of myoepithelioma. Their diagnosis mainly depends only on thorough histopathological examination. This paper is to report a case of extra salivary tumour, intraosseous myoepithelial carcinoma of right ramus of the mandible. This case report serves to increase awareness and improve the index of diagnosis.
