Article Synopsis
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a common malignancy in salivary glands, often linked to MAML2 gene rearrangement; primary cases in the nasopharynx are very rare.
- A 70-year-old man was found to have nasopharyngeal mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and MAML2 translocation was confirmed through a specialized test.
- Despite limited data, findings suggest that age and gender ratios in nasopharyngeal cases are similar to those in salivary glands, and most patients present with high-grade tumors, indicating a need for more research on MAML2's role in this cancer type.
