Geriatrik Hastanın Üst Dudağında İzlenen Mukoepidermoid Karsinoma

Mukoepidermoid karsinoma, tükürük bezi dokusunun malign tümörleri arasında en sık görülen türdür; baş ve boyun bölgesinde, özellikle de parotis bezi ve palatinal bölgede sık görülür. Sunulan olguda, altmış beş yaşında erkek hastanın üst dudağında 2 yıldır değişiklik göstermeyen asemptomatik lezyon bulunmaktaydı. Lezyonun eksizyonundan sonra histopatolojik tanı mukoepidermoid karsinoma olarak koyuldu. Bu yaşta, üst dudakta izlenen mukoepidermoid karsinoma klinikte az rastlanır bir durumdur. Her ne kadar nadir görülse de yaşlılarda mukoepidermoid karsinoma ayırıcı tanıda göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Biyopsi ve hastanın takibi bu tip lezyonların tedavisinde şarttır

Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma on the Upper Lip of a Geriatric Patient

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of salivary tissue. These tumors occur commonly in the head and neck regions, mainly located in the parotid glands and palate. In the present case, a 65-year-old male had an asymptomatic lesion on the upper lip. The patient stated that the mass had been present for 2 years and there was no change in lesion size over time. After excision of the lesion, the histopathologic diagnosis was mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Although mucoepidermoid carcinoma on the upper lip, at this age, is a clinical rarity, it should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of an upper lip mass in the elderly. Biopsy and followup is mandatory for such lesions
