Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Salivary gland tumors or neoplasm is a growth arising in tissue of salivary gland origin. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor that is composed of various proportions of mucous, epidermoid (e.g., squamous), intermediate, columnar, and clear cells and often demonstrates prominent cystic growth. It is the most common malignant neoplasm observed in the major and minor salivary glands. Most salivary gland tumors arising from major glands present as gradually enlarging growths, nontender and painless. The initial diagnosis is based upon the physical examination and the location of the mass within or arising from either major or minor salivary glands. Fine needle aspiration is a very important diagnostic and planning tool. The present report describes a case of high grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of right submandibular gland in 60year old male. Keywords: Salivary gland tumor; malignant epithelial tumor; enlarging growths; Fine needle aspiration.
