Abstract: Objective: To integrate the available data published on central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMC) into a comprehensive analysis of its clinical aspects, histology, treatment, and prognostic factors.<br />Methods: An electronic search was undertaken in July 2017. Eligibility criteria for publications included having clinical, histological, treatment, and time of follow-up data to confirm the diagnosis.<br />Results: In addition, gender, histological grade, conservative treatment, and lymph node metastasis were significant independent prognostic factors.<br />Conclusion: Male patients with histological grade III CMC of the jaw bone, who used conservative treatment as the main treatment, and presented with lymph node metastasis, were more likely to have a worse prognosis.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery.
