Abstract

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common salivary gland malignancy and there is arguably no other salivary gland tumor in which grading is as important to prognosis and therapy. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma are graded by most using three tiers: low, intermediate and high grade. The three most popular grading systems are: the AFIP grading system, modified Healey system and the Brandwein system.
