ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To study the histopathological grading and the clinical-staging system on the surgical prognosis in patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma(MEC) of the salivary glands.Methods:
Analysis were made to the primary sites, clinical findings and the correlation between the histopathological-grading/clinical-staging system and the surgical prognosis in 43 patients with pathological evidence of MEC.Results:
Recurrence or regional lymph node metastasis were diagnosed in 6 of the 36 MEC patients, among which 4 were well differentiated and 2 were poorly differentiated, 1 was in stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ, and 5 were in the stage of Ⅲ or Ⅳ, there were 23 survivors. Thirteen of the 36 patients died, 4 of whom from MEC and 9 from reasons not related to MEC. All the died were in stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ.Conclusions:
Recurrence or metastasis of MEC correlates with clinical-staging, but not related to the histopathological grading, this suggested that ablative surgery of the primary tumor and dissection of the regional lymphatic system are required in cases of Ⅲ and Ⅳstage MEC. Postoperative irradiation is proposed in the event of inadequate resection.
