Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Larynx

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the larynx

“…In 10 of the 11 cases reported by Ferlito et al in 1981, an initial diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma was made. Similar problems have arisen in the cases reported by Davis and Beck (1975), Gatti and Erkman-Balis (1980) and the two present cases. Undoubtedly this is reflected in the rarity of the tumour, which may well be under-reported.…”

“…Both patients remain well, with no evident disease at 12 and 40 months. Only Gatti and Erkman-Balis (1980) and Tandon et al (1985) have previously reported cases of primary glottic mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from the true cords in a woman. The former authors reported a case of low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the left true cord in a 60-year-old female whilst the latter authors reported a tumour of the anterior commissure in a 21-year-old female.…”

Clinical Behavior of the Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Larynx—A Scoping Review

“…Furthermore, 25 studies were identified through the reference lists of the retrieved articles and 1 of them was finally considered eligible for inclusion. Therefore, our scoping review consisted of 25 articles 12–36 . The flow chart of our scoping review is depicted in Figure 1.…”

“…Follow-up of reported cases ranged from 2 months to 10 years. Plenty of studies reported brief follow-up times (up to 1 year) 13,17,19,27,36 no follow-up information 12,19,20,22,26,28,30 making difficult to evaluate the long-term impact of disease on patients. Only in a small number of studies a follow-up of 5 or more years (in some of the patients) is reported.…”

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Vocal Cord

“…Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the larynx is of ductal origin, and probably arises from glandular tissue in supraglottic and subglottic lesions [20], Vocal cord lesions arise directly from the squamous epithelium covering the cord [22]. It has been suggested that tumors of the vocal cord containing mucus-secreting cells may arise from ectopic mucous glands [23].…”
