Recurrent Giant Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Parotid: A Case Report and Review of Literature

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common salivary gland malignancy and about one third occurs in the parotid gland. The peak incidence is commonly seen between the third and fifth decades of life. It routinely presents as a fixed, painless mass below the ear. However, its presentation as a giant mass is exceedingly rare. Here, we report a case of a recurrent giant exophytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a young male. He underwent Revision Total Parotidectomy with Modified Radical neck dissection with Sural nerve grafting and an Anterolateral thigh flap reconstruction followed by Adjuvant radiotherapy. The rarity of the clinical presentation and the management challenges faced in a young male are being discussed in this case report.
