Abstract
We reported a case of mucoepithelioid carcinoma arising from a minor salivary gland in the lower lip. A 44-year-old woman presented at local medical doctor, because of a mass in the lower lip. Histopathological diagnosis of a mucoepithelioid carcinoma was made on examination of a biopsy specimen. Then, she was presented to our clinic. There was a white submucosal tumor measuring 15mm in diameter, in the lower lip. The tumor was excised with a 5mm safety margin. A microscopic examination of the tumor revealed mucous, epidermoid and intermediate cells. The most common location is the parotid gland in the major salivary glands and the palate in the minor salivary glands. She is followed by taking 5-FU internally now.
