Abstract
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a locally invasive tumour of the salivary glands and accounts for nearly one third of all malignancies of the major and minor salivary glands. It has a female preponderance and (3:2) common after the third decade of life. Here we report a case of a 32-year-old woman who had successful pregnancy outcome following treatment for extensive maxillary mucoepidermoid carcinoma with metastasis.
