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. The incidence of mucoepidermoid carcinoma increases with age. The median age at diagnosis is between 20 to 50 years. Females are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than males. There is no racial predilection for mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
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.[1]
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
Gender
- Females are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than males.[3]
- The male to female ratio is approximately 3:2.[4]
- In mucoepidermoid carcinoma, males are more commonly affected by the aggressive tumor form than females.
