Also other common sites include buccal mucosa, tongue and retromolar area. Tumor of low- grade malignancy appear as slow growing, painless mass that seldom exceeds 5 cm in diameter. Here we report a rare case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma which was initially diagnosed as mucocele. The lesion was asymptomatic for 13 years and was then histopathologically confirmed to be a low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma during a routine dental check-up.
