Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most commonly occurring malignant salivary gland neoplasm, and contributes 2.8%-15% of all salivary gland tumours. More than half of these cases involve the major salivary glands, primarily the parotid glands and minor salivary glands. Sublingual salivary glands neoplasms are very rare and constitute 0.5% and 1% of all epithelial salivary tumours and approximately 1.5% of the major salivary glands carcinomas. Here we describe a case report of low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the floor of the mouth in a 70-year-old female patient that was mimicking like a ranula clinically.
黏液表皮样癌(MEC)是最常见的恶性唾液腺肿瘤之一,占所有唾液腺肿瘤的2.8%-15%。其中一半以上的病例累及大唾液腺,主要是腮腺和小唾液腺。舌下唾液腺肿瘤非常罕见,占所有上皮性唾液腺肿瘤的0.5%和1%,约占大唾液腺癌的1.5%。在此,我们报告一例70岁女性患者口底低度黏液表皮样癌的病例,该病例在临床上类似舌下囊肿。
