A case of mucoepidermoid tumour arising in minor salivary glands of the tongue and assessed histologically to be of high-grade malignancy is described. The diagnostic difficulties involved in distinguishing the neoplasm from a squamous cell carcinoma are considered. From published figures it would appear that salivary gland neoplasms in the tongue are much more likely to be malignant than benign.
本文描述了一例发生于舌部小唾液腺的黏液表皮样癌，经组织学评估为高级别恶性肿瘤。文中探讨了将该肿瘤与鳞状细胞癌相鉴别时所涉及的诊断难点。从已发表的数据来看，舌部唾液腺肿瘤恶性的可能性似乎远高于良性。
