Overview
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause painless swelling, facial deformity, and facial numbness, such as Warthin tumor, adenoid cystic carcinoma, benign mixed tumor, and metastasis.[1]
Differential Diagnosis
- The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate mucoepidermoid carcinoma from other conditions that cause painless swelling, facial deformity, and facial numbness or weakness.[1] [2]
| Differential Diagnosis | Similar Features | Differentiating Features |
|---|---|---|
| Benign mixed tumor | Painless parotid swelling and facial deformity | In benign mixed tumor, differentiating features include: histopathological findings |
| Warthin tumor | Painless swelling and facial deformity | In Warthin tumor, differentiating features include: multicentric presentation (20%) and are usually small (1-4 cm), highly associated with smoking |
| Adenoid cystic carcinoma | Local swelling | In adenoid cystic carcinoma, differentiating features include: tendency for perineural extension, distribution, and mainly occur in relation to the airways |
| Metastasis | Painless swelling, facial deformity, and facial numbness. | In metastasis, differentiating features include: primary tumor origin, and histopathological findings. |
