ResumoO carcinoma mucoepidermóide é o tumor maligno de glândula salivar mais frequentemente encontrado na cavidade bucal. O diagnóstico precoce e o correto manejo dessa enfermidade são fatores determinantes no prognóstico. Por ser uma patologia agressiva, deve ser considerada como hipótese de diagnóstico em lesões proliferativas da cavidade bucal, mesmo quando sua aparência clínica não sugere malignidade. O presente trabalho objetivou revisar a literatura sobre o tema, relacionando aspectos clínicos e histopatológicos, e relatar um caso clínico dessa patologia na região de palato duro em paciente atendido na clínica de cirurgia buco-maxilo-facial da Faculdade de Odontologia de Pernambuco.AbstractMucoepidermoid carcinoma is a malignant tumor of the salivary glands most often found in the oral cavity. Early diagnosis and proper management of this disease are factors in determining prognosis. Because it is an aggressive disease, should be considered as a diagnostic hypothesis proliferative lesions of the oral cavity, even when their clinical appearance did not suggest malignancy. This study aimed to review the literature on the topic, linking clinical and pathologic features, and report a clinical case of this pathology in the hard palate in patients treated in oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic at Pernambuco Dental School.
