Mucoepidermoid tumours arise from the ductal cells of the salivary glands, most commonly the parotid. The occurrence of these tumours in the mucus glands of the air passages is extremely rare. They are very aggressive tumours with poor prognosis.
A case of nasal mucoepidermoid carcinoma with probable origin from the middle turbinate is reported.
Nasal mucoepidermoid carcinomas are extremely rare. They usually present with symptoms similar to sinusitis. When dealing with a recurrent/aggressive tumour in the ethmoids, the possibility of mucoepidermoid carcinoma can be considered in the differential diagnosis. They are aggressive tumours with a poor prognosis.
黏液表皮样瘤起源于唾液腺导管细胞，最常见于腮腺。这些肿瘤在气道黏液腺中极为罕见。它们是侵袭性很强且预后较差的肿瘤。
报告一例可能起源于中鼻甲的鼻黏液表皮样癌病例。
鼻黏液表皮样癌极为罕见。它们通常表现出与鼻窦炎相似的症状。在处理筛窦复发性/侵袭性肿瘤时，鉴别诊断中可考虑黏液表皮样癌的可能性。它们是侵袭性肿瘤，预后较差。
