| mucoepidermoid tumour | A malignant epithelial tumour of glandular tissue, especially the salivary glands, characterised by acini with mucus-producing cells and by the presence of malignant squamous elements. most mucoepidermoid tumours are low-grade lesions readily cured by adequate excision. They may appear in any age group. They grow slowly. If high-grade, they behave aggressively, widely infiltrating the salivary gland and producing lymph node and distant metastases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, mucoepidermoid | A tumour of both low- and high-grade malignancy. The low-grade grow slowly, appear in any age group, and are readily cured by excision. The high-grade behave aggressively, widely infiltrate the salivary gland and produce lymph node and distant metastases. Mucoepidermoid carcinomas account for about 21% of the malignant tumours of the parotid gland and 10% of the sublingual gland. They are the most common malignant tumour of the parotid.
