Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the minor salivary glands though malignant, often displays clinical characteristics similar to benign tumors. Although it is the most common of all malignancies of salivary glands, and the palate is reported to be a frequently affected site, the incidence of palatal mucoepidermoid carcinoma is still quite rare. Proper guidelines regarding treatment of such low grade tumors have not been defined. The aim of this article is to present a case of low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the palate and discuss the possibility of conservative approach for treatment
