mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a neoplasm of salivary gland origin, and its laryngeal occurrence is extremely rare. this malignant tumor is composed of two distinct cell types, the epidermoid and mucus cells. prognosis is largely dependent on the histologic pattern. in this report, an extremely rare laryngeal cancer and its clinicopathologic features are described.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of salivary glands. However, it is a rare entity in larynx. Laryngeal cases are frequently misdiagnosed with other malignancies and they are under-reported. So, recognizing the clinical and histological features of this tumor is essential. Laryngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma can arise in supraglottis, glottis and subglottis. Generally, ...

BACKGROUND Mucoepidermoid carcinoma arises from major or minor salivary glands, making up 10% of salivary gland tumors. Intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinomas are rare, and make up only 2% to 3% of all mucoepidermoid carcinomas. The t(11;19) and its CRTC1-MAML2 fusion gene transcript have been identified in mucoepidermoid carcinoma and are associated with a subset of mucoepidermoid carcinomas. ...

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. Herein, we report clinical and radiological findings of a muco...

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the external auditory canal is extremely rare. Strategies used for treatment of mucoepidermoid carcinoma remain controversial. We present a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the external auditory canal. The patient underwent lateral temporal bone resection and the surgical defect was obliterated with temporal muscle. He is currently disease-free, four years after s...

mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the pancreas is rare. here, a 63-year-old woman with left upper abdominal pain and abdominal distension is presented. her mucoepidermoid carcinoma was located at the left upper abdomen, arising from the pancreatic body and tail without invasion of pancreatic capsule. on pathologic examination, the tumor consisted of three types of cells, the majority being poorly dif...

introduction: mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents one of the most common malignant salivary gland tumors.however, the sclerosing morphologic variant is extremely rare with only 23 reported cases in the english-language literature since it was discovered in 1987. case report: herein, we describe another case that was diagnosed in a 25-year-old woman presenting with a posterior auricular mass, as...

BACKGROUND Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary glands usually metastasizes to the lungs, liver, bone, brain, and skin. We report a rare case of distant metastasis of high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid to the ipsilateral bulbar conjunctiva of the eye. CASE PRESENTATION Sixty-year-old male of Kashmiri origin presented to our tertiary care referral cancer institute with exophyti...
