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.
Surgery is the main mode of treatment for malignant sublingual gland tumors, and different types of surgical interventions depends on the extent of the primary tumor. For small tumors which are restricted to the floor of the mouth, a wide surgical resection of involved sublingual and also the ipsilateral submandibular salivary gland has to done, as the ductal system is often affected even with limited resection [11]. In our case Low grade MEC in the floor of the mouth was surgically excised along with involved lymphnode. [2]
Indications

- Biological and histological features suitable for surgery
