[Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland in a child]

We report a case of parotid mucoepidermoid carcinoma in a 6-year-old boy. After nerve-sparing subtotal parotidectomy, he remains free of disease 15 months later. We review the former experience on this unusual childhood neoplasia through a review of nearly 300 cases from the literature.
