Nine previously unreported cases of central mucoepidermoid tumor of the jaws (CMET) are presented and forty-one previously reported examples are reviewed. The mandible was involved in thirth-four cases and the maxilla in sixteen. The CMET is more common in females and has been reported in patients from 1 to 85 years of age. Most cases occur in the fourth and fifth decades. Radiographically, the CMET usually resembles an ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst. Most CMET's are histologically well-differentiated lesions. Thirteen tumors recurred after various forms of therapy. Regional node metastasis was reported in four cases, and four patients died as a result of their tumors.
