Primary intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PIOC) is an infrequent malignancy of the head and neck that exhibits diverse biological behavior. The rareness of the location for a salivary gland tumor and the clinical and radiographic manifestations, suggestive of an odontogenic lesion often pose a diagnostic challenge. We hereby report such a unique case of central mucoepidermoid carcinoma tha...

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a neoplasia that usually occurs at salivary glands, breast, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. The primary occurrence on thyroid gland is rare and only 33 cases were previously published. Although the majority of cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid (MECT) show a benign evolution, this paper describes a patient with an aggressive tumor. A literature...

Background: Parotid tumor is a supporter of saliva that occurs most often among the tumors present in other saliva. with slow progression rate, so it makes patients serve to seek treatment.Objective: This study aims determine characteristics parotid RSUP. Dr. M. Djamil Padang.Methods: type research descriptive retrospective approach. was conducted from March August 2020 at Medical Record Instal...

The biologic behavior and factors influencing the development of salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma are not fully understood. Alteration of the cyclin-dependant kinase inhibitor p21(WAF) could cause uncontrolled proliferation leading to cancer. Thirty-five mucoepidermoid carcinomas were graded and immunohistochemically stained for p21(WAF). The percentage of positive tumor cells was determ...

The authors report the case to understand this unusual presentation and prognosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma following treatment. We present a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a 67-year-old man. The cancer was diagnosed in the right side of his neck but the primary tumor remained unknown despite attempts at staging. The neck was treated successfully and followed up for 2 years. Metastasis o...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a locally invasive tumor of the major and minor salivary glands. A 29-year-old male patient reported complaint slow-growing, painless, non-ulcerated palatal swelling. On clinical evaluation, swelling appeared benign; hence, complete excision lesion was carried out under general anesthesia, with closure by reconstruction partial-thickness flap. Healing uneventful. The...

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology and comparative survival for minor salivary gland cancer of the oral cavity. STUDY DESIGN Historical cohort study. SETTING Academic medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Cases of minor salivary gland cancer of the oral cavity were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (1988-2005) and staged. Kaplan-Meier survivals wer...
