Overview
On CT scan, characteristic findings of mucoepidermoid carcinoma include: well-circumscribed masses, usually with cystic components (low-grade tumors), solid components enhance, and calcification is sometimes seen. High-grade tumors have poorly defined margins, infiltrate locally and appear solid.[1]
