High-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of maxillary sinus
Malignant tumors of the paranasal sinus are uncommon, constituting less than 1% of all malignancies and 3% of all head and neck cancers. Nonsquamous cancers of the maxillary sinus are even rarer as is evident from the limited data available on the clinical characteristics and outcomes. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma accounts for 13% of all malignancies occurring in maxillary sinus. We report a rare c...
متن کاملCentral Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Report
Introduction: Central mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CMEC) is a rare primary intraosseous bony lesion. The mandible is more commonly affected than the maxilla. CMEC is frequently misdiagnosed radiographically and clinically as a benign odontogenic tumor or cyst. Case Presentation: We present a rare case with a secondary malignant neoplasm. A male patient was initially diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodg...
متن کاملUnusually Delayed Recurrence of a Low Grade Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Maxillary Sinus
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a malignant epithelial neoplasm composed of both mucus secreting cells and epidermoid-type cells. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from mucous glands of maxillary sinus is extremely rare and accounts for 13% of all malignancies occurring in maxillary sinus. While the high-grade MEC is a highly aggressive tumor, its low-grade counterpart usually demonstrates a m...
متن کاملWhat is the role of elective neck dissection in low-, intermediate-, and high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma?
BACKGROUND The decision to proceed with elective neck dissection (END) is based on the probability of finding microscopic disease in a patient without clinical evidence of lymph node metastases. In contrast to squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, there is currently no standard of care for END in salivary gland carcinoma. This is due in large part to the relatively low incidence of thes...
متن کاملLow-Grade Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Lacrimal Gland in a Teenaged Patient
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant, locally invasive tumour of the salivary glands and accounts for approximately 35% of all malignancies of the major and minor salivary glands. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma that originated from the lacrimal gland is exceedingly rare in teenage patients, with only a few cases reported.
