Although mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MECs) are considered as the second most common malignant salivary gland neoplasm, only 0.5-1% of epithelial salivary gland tumours have been reported to arise from the sublingual salivary gland.1 The authors report a case of a low-grade MEC of the sublingual salivary gland in a 35-year-old woman. Wide excision of the tumour along with continuous marginal mandibulectomy was performed. There has been no recurrence till date.
尽管黏液表皮样癌(MECs)被认为是第二常见的涎腺恶性肿瘤,但据报道,仅0.5%-1%的上皮性涎腺肿瘤起源于舌下涎腺。本文作者报告了一例35岁女性舌下涎腺低级别黏液表皮样癌的病例。对肿瘤进行了广泛切除,并连续切除了下颌骨边缘部分。迄今为止未出现复发情况。
