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. Males are slightly more affected with mucoepidermoid carcinoma than females. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race.

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.

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

  • usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race.
  • The incidence rate of among Caucasians is 2 per 100,000 individuals in the general population.
