dc.description.abstractMinor salivary gland carcinomas are rarely reported. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is one of the most common salivary gland malignancies. MEC accounts for 1% to 2% of major salivary gland neoplasms and 9% of minor gland tumors. It is most commonly seen in the parotid gland and usually appears as asymptomatic swelling. However, the palate is a frequent site when it occurs in the minor salivary glands. Follow-up of the patient is very important as local recurrence rate with conservative treatment is high. Here we are reporting a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma involving palatal region in a 25-years-old female patient. The patient presented with a fast-growing swelling, invading the underlying anatomical structures and was treated successfully through the antrostomy procedureen_US
