title: Sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid.
abstract: Two cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland associated with extensive central sclerosis and peripheral lymphoid response are reported. This unusual but distinctive variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma can be difficult to recognize and may be confused with chronic sialoadenitis or even metastasis to an intraparotid lymph node.
