Transoral Robotic Surgery for High Grade Oropharyngeal Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma With Good Outcome and Preserved Oropharyngeal Functions

This case report illustrates, to the best of our knowledge, the first documented case of using TORS for MEC of the BOT involving both lingual and palatine tonsils with four years of disease-free survival, despite high histologic grade. Our case sheds light on the use of TORS for improved long-term outcome and preserved oropharyngeal functions for patients with oropharyngeal MEC.

Abstract

This case report illustrates, to the best of our knowledge, the first documented case of using TORS for MEC of the BOT involving both lingual and palatine tonsils with four years of disease-free survival, despite high histologic grade. Our case sheds light on the use of TORS for improved long-term outcome and preserved oropharyngeal functions for patients with oropharyngeal MEC.
