Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Palate : A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
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.
