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.[1] The incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma increases with age. The median age at diagnosis is between 20 to 50 years.[2] Males are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than females. There is no racial predilection for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.[3]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor among general population
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is considered an uncommon tumor among adults
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents less than 5% of malignancies in the head and neck region, among adult population.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents about 16% of all salivary gland tumors among pediatric population.
Incidence
- The overall adjusted incidence rate of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is approximately 2.5 to 3.0 cases per 100,000 individuals a year.
Age
- The incidence of increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 20 to 60 years.[2]
Gender
- Males are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.5 to 1.
- In mucoepidermoid carcinoma males are more commonly affected by aggressive presentation than females.
Race
- There is no racial predilection for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.[2]
