Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma occurs more freguently than any other in the major sacivary glands. It is relatively more common in parotid than in submandibular gland. Stewart at al published the first large series of these tumors in 1945 and suggested the name "Mocoepidermoid tumor". Now it is divided three categories : low-grade, intermediate-grade, high-grade. And Mucoepidermoid carcinomas are composed of mucous cells, epidermoid cells, and intermediate cells. We freated low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma patient with induction chemotherapy, surpery, and adjuvomt chemotherapy.
