  • Title: Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the sublingual gland.
    Author: Lee DH, Kim JH, Lee JK, Lim SC.
    Journal: Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis; 2017 Oct; 134(5):355-356. PubMed ID: 28330594.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary gland is a rare subtype of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The most common site of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary glands is the parotid gland, followed by the submandibular gland, and the minor salivary glands. OBSERVATION: Here we report the first case of sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the sublingual gland. DISCUSSION: Clinicians should consider sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the differential diagnosis of salivary gland neoplasm. Surgical excision with clear margins seems to be a sufficient initial treatment option for sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary gland.
