Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor among general population. The incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is approximately 2.5 to 3.0 cases per 100,000 individuals a year. The incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 20 to 50 years. Males are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than females. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race.

Overview

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor among general population. The incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is approximately 2.5 to 3.0 cases per 100,000 individuals a year. The incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma increases with age. The median age at diagnosis is between 20 to 50 years. Females are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than males. There is no racial predilection for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
