Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a relatively common salivary gland cancer in the oral cavity; however, it is extremely rare in infants. We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma arising in the palate of an infant.<br>A 5-year-old girl had a painful, dome-like mass in the right side of the palate.<br>Although the tumor was covered with normal mucosa, it was mobile on palpation. There was no lymph node adenopathy in the neck. Radiographically, the lesion showed no defined area of osteolytic destruction. A biopsy was performed, and the histopathological diagnosis was a mucoepidermoid carcinoma.<br>The tumor was totally excised, including the palatal bone, with the patient under general anesthesia. Five years after surgery, the patient remains free of disease, and the postoperative development of the maxilla is good.
