Salivary gland carcinomas are the uncommon and clinically diverse group of neoplasms with mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) being the most common among them. MEC accounts for 5% of all salivary gland tumors. As the name implies, the tumor is composed of both mucus secreting cells and epidermoid type cells in varying proportions. Most patients are aware of the lesion for 1 year or less. We report clinical, radiographic and histological features of a long-standing case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of minor salivary glands of the palate in a 35-year-old male patient. The patient reported with a slow growing swelling on the palate which began 15 years ago. The patient was treated with hemi-maxillectomy and is currently under follow up.
涎腺癌是一组不常见且临床症状多样的肿瘤，其中黏液表皮样癌（MEC）最为常见。MEC占所有涎腺肿瘤的5%。顾名思义，该肿瘤由比例各异的黏液分泌细胞和表皮样细胞组成。大多数患者意识到病变的时间在1年或更短。我们报告了一名35岁男性患者腭部小涎腺黏液表皮样癌长期病例的临床、影像学和组织学特征。患者自述15年前腭部出现缓慢生长的肿物。患者接受了半侧上颌骨切除术，目前正在接受随访。
