High-grade oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the minor salivary gland origin: a case report with immunohistochemical study.
An oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising from the minor salivary gland origin is extremely rare. We report on a 44-year-old man with a high-grade oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma originating in the minor salivary gland of the posterior mandible. All tumor cells showed the expected pattern of immunoreactivity, with positive results for the antimitochondrial antibody and p63, and negative results for the androgenic receptor antibody. Microscopically, the tumor was considered to be a high-grade carcinoma in the grading systems of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and Brandwein. The patient underwent a partial mandibulectomy, and the lesion was reconstructed with a right fibula osteofasciocutaneous flap under general anesthesia. The patient is currently under long-term follow-up.
