Overview
If left untreated, patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may progress to develop centinel metastasis to adjacent structures. Common complications mucoepidermoid carcinoma include facial deformity. Prognosis will generally depend on the clinical stage, tumor size, and histological grade. The overall recurrence rate will depend on the stage[1] Low grade tumors have a 90-98% survival and a low local recurrence rate.[2]
Natural History
- Most patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma are initially asymptomatic.
- The symptoms of usually develop in the second or fifth decade of life, and initially patients complain of swallowing problems that is increased upon chewing activity.
- If left untreated, patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma may progress to develop centinel metastasis to adjacent structures.
Complications
- Common complications of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, include:[1]
- Facial deformity
Prognosis
- Prognosis will generally depend on the clinical stage, tumor size, and histological grade.
- The overall recurrence rate will depend on the stage[1]
- Low grade tumors have a 90-98% survival and a low local recurrence rate
- High grade tumors 30-54% surviving, and a high local recurrence rate [2]
