Overview
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma may be classified according to location into 2 subtypes: salivary gland-confined carcinomas and other organ mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Based on histological features, it is divided into low, intermediate and high grade tumors.
Classification
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma may be classified according to location into 2 subtypes:[1]
| Classification: Mucoepidermoid Carcinomas | ||
|---|---|---|
| Salivary gland-confined carcinomas |
|
|
|
| |
| Other organ mucoepidermoid carcinomas |
| |
Grading based on Histopathology:
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma are graded into three sub types based on histopathological features:
- Low
- Intermediate
- High grade
- The three most popular grading systems are:
- All categories are based on similar set of parameters which include both cytomorphologic and architectural, particularly perineural and angiolymphatic invasion.
| Category | Histopathologic findings |
|---|---|
| Low grade |
|
| Intermediated grade |
|
| High grade |
