The parotid gland is the most common site of OMEC, whereas intraoral OMEC is infrequent.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patient Concerns:<\/jats:title>\n A 55-year-old male presented with an asymptomatic mass at the palate for 20 years.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Diagnosis:<\/jats:title>\n Incisional biopsy showed classic MEC.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Treatment:<\/jats:title>\n The patient underwent partial maxillectomy under general anaesthesia. The excised specimen revealed sheets of oncocytes additional to the tumour cells found in the incisional biopsy. Additional special stain and immunohistochemical stain confirmed the diagnosis of OMEC.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Outcomes:<\/jats:title>\n The patient was followed up for 3 years with no recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Take-away Lessons:<\/jats:title>\n The diagnosis of OMEC needs to be differentiated from other salivary gland tumours containing oncocytes. Moreover, the conventional grading system applied to OMEC may not correlate with their behavior and may need further review.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ams.ams_115_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,1]],"date-time":"2022-02-01T08:34:28Z","timestamp":1643704468000},"page":"313-316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Intraoral Oncocytic Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma - A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Pawat","family":"Sripodok","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sopee","family":"Poomsawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachai","family":"Juengsomjit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theerachai","family":"Kosanwat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-20-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0b013e318184b36d","article-title":"Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma: Clinicopathologic description in a series of 12 cases","volume":"33","author":"Weinreb","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"R3-20-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e72","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2010.01.026","article-title":"High-grade oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the minor salivary gland origin: A case report with immunohistochemical study","volume":"109","author":"Kwon","year":"2010","journal-title":"Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod"},{"key":"R5-20-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"523","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199905000-00005","article-title":"Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the salivary glands","volume":"23","author":"Jahan-Parwar","year":"1999","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"R6-20-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"905","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1827.2000.01129.x","article-title":"Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland: Report of a case with DNA ploidy analysis and review of the literature","volume":"50","author":"Deveci","year":"2000","journal-title":"Pathol Int"},{"key":"R7-20-20240828","first-page":"60","article-title":"Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma (OMEC) of the parotid gland in a 12-year-old patient: A diagnostic challenge on cytology","volume":"49","author":"Qayoom","year":"2020","journal-title":"Diagn Cytopathol"},{"key":"R8-20-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1612","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0000000000001590","article-title":"Molecular profiling of salivary oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinomas helps to resolve differential diagnostic dilemma with low-grade oncocytic lesions","volume":"44","author":"Sk\u00e1lov\u00e1","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"R9-20-20240828","first-page":"1426","article-title":"Oncocytic variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of palate with extensive clear cell change: A rare case at unusual site","volume":"6","author":"Behera","year":"2016","journal-title":"Asian J Pharm Health Sci"},{"key":"R10-20-20240828","first-page":"1","article-title":"Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the submandibular salivary gland: A challenging differential diagnosis of a very rare tumor","volume":"4","author":"Avila","year":"2019","journal-title":"Ann Clin Case Rep"}],"container-title":["Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ams.ams_115_21","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T19:08:14Z","timestamp":1787166494000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ams.ams_115_21"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,7]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ams.ams_115_21","relation":{},"ISSN":["2231-0746"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2231-0746","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,7]]}}}
