Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, a malignant tumour of the salivary gland is histologically characterized by the presence of mucoid cells, epidermoid cells and intermediate cells. There are many variants of this tumour. A particular variant, sclerosing variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma is presented due to its rarity and chances of misdiagnosis as benign lesions due to the presence of extensive sclerosing stroma.
