Intraoral Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Salivary Glands: Lack of Association Among Clinicopathological Features and Immunoexpression of c-erbB-2 in 29 Cases
The association among clinicopathological features and c-erbB-2 oncoprotein expression was evaluated in twenty-nine cases of intra-oral mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). MEC was prevalent in the female gender (79.3%), tumors were more frequent in ages between 21 and 40 years (48.3%), and the palate wa...
