| Abstract | |
Neoplasms of the sublingual salivary glands are very rare and comprise only between 0.5% and 1% of all epithelial salivary tumors and approximately 1.5% of all carcinomas of the major salivary glands. Mucoepidermoid carcinomas were first described by Masson and Berger in 1924. This paper reports a case of well differentiated mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the floor of the mouth which clinically and cytologically mimicked the tumour of perineural invasion, adenoid cystic carcinoma. |
