Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor1. Although the parotid gland is the most common site of involvement, other major salivary glands and the minor salivary glands—most commonly of the palate—also can be involved. The management of mucoepidermoid carcinoma depends on the grade of the tumor and the adequacy of resection. We present the case of a 41-year-old gentleman with no known co-morbidities presented with swelling over right parotid region for 20 years. Supercial parotidectomy was done and the histopathology revealed mucoepidermoid carcinoma - Warthin like variant. Extensive literature search has revealed only a few reported such cases.
