Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of palate, palatine tonsil, and nasopharynx: a salivary gland tumor with a rare location
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) it is the most common malignant tumor of the salivary gland. Regarding the minor salivary glands, it is more common in palate. An unusual case of MEC is presented located on the hard and soft palate, palatine tonsil, and right nasopharynx where histologic grade and pro...

El carcinoma mucoepidermoide (CME) es el tumor maligno más común de las glándulas salivales. Su localización más frecuente en las glándulas salivales menores es el paladar. Se presenta un caso inusual de CME localizado en paladar duro y blando, tonsila palatina y nasofaringe donde se analizaron su grado histológico y su potencial proliferativo como factores pronósticos. Paciente mujer de 73 años consultó por tumoración exofítica del paladar con 3 meses de evolución. La biopsia incisional informó CME de alto grado de malignidad por lo que se efectuó la remoción quirúrgica de las lesiones de paladar, tonsila palatina y nasofaringe confirmándose ese diagnóstico. El CME de alto grado se asocia con un comportamiento agresivoy una tasa de sobrevida reducida comparada con los tumores de malignidad baja e intermedia. Los resultados demuestran su agresividad, alta proliferación celular y capacidad infiltrante, que obligan al tratamiento precoz y seguimiento de la paciente.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) it is the most common malignant tumor of the salivary gland. Regarding the minor salivary glands, it is more common in palate. An unusual case of MEC is presented located on the hard and soft palate, palatine tonsil, and right nasopharynx where histologic grade and proliferative potential as prognostic factors were analyzed. 73 years-old female patients consulted by exophytic tumor of the palate with 3 months of evolution. Incisional biopsy reported MEC of high-grade malignancy, so the surgical removal of the lesions was performed on palate, palatine tonsil and nasopharynx confirming that diagnosis. The high degree MEC is associated with aggressive behavior and reduced survival rate compared with tumors of low and intermediate malignancy.
