In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research , Okabe et al. (1) have analyzed 71 cases of mucoepidermoid cancer and 51 cases of non-mucoepidermoid cancer for the presence of the Mect1Maml2 fusion oncogene and have made a valuable observation. They confirmed that Mect1-Maml2 expression is specific for mucoepidermoid cancer and showed that fusion-positive tumors have histologic and prognostic featur...

The morphology, incidence and distribution of hyaline cells in ten cases each of pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and mucoepidermoid tumour were studied by conventional light microscopy. Results showed that the hyaline cells were identified in 60% of pleomorphic adenoma and in 20% of mucoepidermoid tumours, but were absent in adenoid cystic carcinoma and adenocarcin...

We report a case of High grade Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the middle ear. A 67 year old gentleman was referred to our centre for persistent otalgia associated with facial weakness for four months. Examination revealed a middle ear mass with House Brackmann Grade 3 Facial Palsy and ipsilateral lymhadenopathy. Biopsies suggested a squamous cell carcinoma of the middle ear, and he successfully un...

Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare tumor which affects women more than men and is more common in the mandible. The radiological examination reveals a well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesion. This tumor may resemble a glandular odontogenic cyst, particularly in incisional biopsies. The accurate diagnosis of these lesions is imperative because the subsequent treatm...
