Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.[1]
Surgery
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma(low-grade): complete surgical excision with sparing of the facial nerve.[1]
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma(high-grade): parotidectomy with facial nerve sparing may be followed by radiotherapy.
- Clinically aggressive mucoepidermoid carcinoma tumors with facial nerve involvement will require radical surgery with sacrifice of the facial nerve and radiotherapy.
- Primary nerve grafting using the sural nerve if possible is performed.
- Lymph node dissection is usually only performed for clinically or radiographically detected nodal metastasis.
Indications
- Indications for surgery for mucoepidermoid carcinoma, include:
- Biological and histological features suitable for surgery
