Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the commonest malignant salivary gland tumour affecting the parotid gland in adults and children. Typically, mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MECs) are found in the tracheobronchial, lacrimal, and salivary glands. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment plan of MEC of the parotid gland. A 53 years old male came to the Outpatient Department with chief complaint of swelling in the left side of the face. The primary course of treatment for this tumour has been surgical resection. FNAC of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of Pleomorphic adenoma following which a wide surgical excision with adjacent free margins was carried out. This case report highlights the need for proper diagnosis and treatment plan in the cases of malignant tumors as it can lead to morbidity and mortality
