Mukoepidermoid Kanserler
Abstract
16 cases of the mucoepidermoid carcinoma have been diagnosed among 74337 biopsy and surgical specimens sent to Department of Pathology between 1947—1970. Clinical and morphologic fin• dings of our cases have been compared with those reported in the literature, and results discussed.
12 out of 16 cases were in the parotid gland, 2 cases in the palate, 1 case in the submandibular gland and 1 case in the tonsilla. The largest tumor was in parotid and measured 9 cm. in diameter. The tumors located in the parotid glands had higher grade malignancy than others, located in the minor salivary glands.
