Abstract：
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant tumor that arises from the salivary glands. The recommended treatment strategy typically involves surgical intervention, sometimes complemented by radiotherapy, depending on the histological grade of the tumor. A case of a 22-year-old female patient without medical history was described. The clinical examination revealed a bluish lesion located on the hard palate. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Resection of the lesion was performed and oro-nasal communication was immediately closed by a prosthetic obturator and later on by a rotational palate flap. The patient was followed up for 12 months, and there was no evidence of any recurrence. This article highlights the importance of prompt clinical diagnosis of such lesions and provides an opportunity to review these cancer therapeutic measures to reduce postoperative morbidity.
摘要：
粘液表皮样癌是一种起源于唾液腺的恶性肿瘤。推荐的治疗策略通常包括手术干预，有时辅以放射治疗，取决于肿瘤的组织学分级。描述了一例没有病史的22岁女性患者。临床检查显示位于硬腭上的蓝色病变。组织学检查证实了低度粘液表皮样癌的诊断。切除病变，并立即通过假体闭塞器关闭口鼻连通，然后通过旋转pa瓣关闭。患者随访12个月,没有任何复发的证据.本文强调了及时临床诊断此类病变的重要性，并提供了一个机会来回顾这些癌症治疗措施以降低术后发病率。
