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
Incidence
- The overall adjusted incidence rate of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is approximately 2.5 to 3.0 cases per 100,000 individuals a year.
Prevalence
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor among the general population.[2]
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is considered an uncommon tumor among adults.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents less than 5% of malignancies in the head and neck region, among the adult population.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma represents about 16% of all salivary gland tumors among the pediatric population.
Age
- The median age at diagnosis is between 20 to 60 years.[2]
Gender
- Females are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than males.[4]
- The male to female ratio is approximately 3:2.[5]
- In mucoepidermoid carcinoma, males are more commonly affected by the aggressive tumor form than females.
