A case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma originating in the parotid gland but manifesting itself intraorally with widespread metastases is presented. A description of the nature of the tumor, the histologic patterns, clinical staging and treatment is discussed. A possible source of diagnostic errors that can be made when tissue sampling is limited and not truly representative is presented.
