A rare case of salivary gland tumor mimicking vascular malformation in the retromandibular region
Journal of Indian Academy of Oral Medicine and Radiology(2023)
摘要
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the accessory salivary glands is a rare occurrence, accounting for less than 5% of head and neck cancers and 10% of all salivary gland tumors. In this article, we report a case of MEC with a unique clinical presentation mimicking a vascular malformation. It is very uncommon to find a MEC in the retromolar region. The patient was a 21-year-old male who had noticed a swelling in his mouth for 4 years. It was clinically diagnosed as a vascular malformation, and later radiographic evaluations affirmed the fact that it was a tumor arising from the minor salivary glands. The patient underwent surgery in a private hospital, with no signs of recurrence postoperatively.
