title: Metachronous bilateral mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland.
abstract: We report a very rare case of bilateral muco-epidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland that underwent bilateral parotidectomy with neck dissections and radiotherapy. This case has done well for three years and suggests that metachronous bilateral mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland, if treated as per the merits of each side, has a reasonable survival.
