Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinomas generally occur in the major and minor salivary glands ; mucoepidermoid carcinomas in the laryngeal area are rare. We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the subglottic region. A 56-year-old female was referred to our institute complaining of hoarseness, and fiberscopic examination revealed significant subglottic stenosis. Low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma was pathologically suspected from the biopsy specimen taken in a tracheotomy. A total laryngectomy was performed with the negative surgical margin, and the conclusive pathological diagnosis was low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Although the postoperative course is still short, the course has been favorable without local recurrence or distant metastasis.
