Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Palate: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Salivary gland carcinomas are a rare and clinically diverse group of neoplasms among which mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) are reported to be most frequently occurring. MEC display a variety of biological behaviors and variable natural history. We report a case of mucoepidermoidcarcinom. Histopathological features suggested intermediate grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Surgical resection was done. Follow up of two years did not show any recurrence. Maxillary MEC should be followed-up for longer period as they have worse prognosis than mandibular lesions. Keywords: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, Palate, Surgery.
