ABSTRACT

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma was first described as a distinct tumor type in 1945 by Stewart et al. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the larynx is very rare. It mainly involves the major salivary glands but may also involves the minor salivary glands.

Recently the authors have experienced two cases of laryngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma

which were treated with surgical excision.
