Abstrakt:	Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma (IMC) is an atypical salivary gland neoplasm commonly seen in middle-aged adults. Their presentation in young individuals below the age group of 20 years is sporadic. Treatment modality mainly includes radical surgical resection for malignant tumours. There were only 13 reported cases of IMC of mandible below the age of 20 years in the English literature. All the reported cases were only managed with wide resection and radiotherapy. Surgical resection leads to loss of form and function in the young population, decreasing their morale. Hence, reconstruction should be mandated in young individuals for restoring function and aesthetics. We present a case of IMC of the mandible in a young female individual resected and reconstructed with a free fibula bone graft. Satisfactory healing is elicited with no recurrence at the 2-year follow-up period. Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared. (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2022.
