Incidence of abundant minor salivary gland tissues in the posterior part of hard palate surges the likelihood of salivary gland neoplasm especially in this part of the oral cavity. Minor salivary gland tumor accounts for virtually 15% of all the salivary gland neoplasm, wherein mucoepidermoid carcinoma comprises of 35.9%. Current paper reports a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the posterior part of the hard palate which was an incidental finding. It presented as well-defined smooth swelling, the preliminary radiographic investigation revealed no appreciable bony changes and offered an impression of a benign tumor. Histopathological investigation displayed features of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of intermediate grade. The lesion was surgically excised and the patient was under regular follow up for 3years. The paper focus on the magnitude of swift clinical diagnosis of specific lesions, so increasing the survival rate and reducing the morbidity.
硬腭后部丰富的小唾液腺组织的存在增加了唾液腺肿瘤的发生可能性，尤其是在口腔的这一部分。小唾液腺肿瘤实际上占所有唾液腺肿瘤的15%，其中黏液表皮样癌占35.9%。本文报道了一例硬腭后部黏液表皮样癌，该病例为偶然发现。它表现为边界清晰的光滑肿胀，初步影像学检查未发现明显的骨质改变，提示为良性肿瘤。组织病理学检查显示为中度黏液表皮样癌的特征。病变经手术切除，患者接受了3年的定期随访。本文重点关注特定病变快速临床诊断的重要性，从而提高生存率并降低发病率。
