==Overview==
If left untreated, patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may progress to develop sentinel metastasis to adjacent [[Lymph node|lymph nodes]]. Common complications of mucoepidermoid carcinoma include [[facial]] [[deformity]], [[dysphagia]], and local [[lymph node]] metastasis. [[Prognosis]] will generally depend on the clinical stage, [[tumor]] size, and [[histological]] grade. The overall recurrence rate will depend on the stage. Low grade [[tumors]] have a 90-98% survival rate and a low rate of local [[recurrence]].

Overview

If left untreated, patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may progress to develop sentinel metastasis to adjacent lymph nodes. Common complications of mucoepidermoid carcinoma include facial deformity, dysphagia, and local lymph node metastasis. Prognosis will generally depend on the clinical stage, tumor size, and histological grade. The overall recurrence rate will depend on the stage. Low grade tumors have a 90-98% survival rate and a low rate of local recurrence.

Natural History

  • The majority of patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma are initially asymptomatic.
  • Symptoms usually develop in the second or fifth decade of life, and initially patients complain of swallowing problems that are increased upon mastication.
  • If left untreated, patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may progress to develop sentinel lymph node metastasis.
  • Mode of metastasis may be[1]

Complications

  • Common complications of mucoepidermoid carcinoma include:[2]

Prognosis

  • Prognosis will generally depend on the clinical stage, tumor size, and histological grade.[2]
  • The overall recurrence rate depends on the stage of the tumor.[2][3]
  • Low grade tumors have a 90-98% survival rate and a low rate of local recurrence.
  • High grade tumors have a 30-54% survival rate, and a high local recurrence rate.[3]
  • The 5-year survival rate of patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma is:[4]
  • Stage I 75%
  • Stage II 59%
  • Stage III 57%
  • Stage IV 28%
  • Overall incidence of lymph node involvement ranges from 18–28%.
  • When distant metastases develop in patients with minor salivary gland tumours the average survival is 2.3 years
  • Tumours of the major salivary glands is 2.6 years.[5][6][7]
