Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma (MEC) is defined as a malignant epithelial neoplasm of the salivary glands produced by proliferation of secretory cells (mucin, basaloids, intermediates and epidermoids). It is cataloged as the most frequent malignant neoplasm of the salivary glands with 30% and represents just under 10% of head and neck neoplasms. Objective: Determine the epidemiological and histopathological characteristics of MEC diagnosed in the Bucomaxillofacial Pathology laboratory of the Clínica Dental Docente (CDD) of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH) between 1991 and 2018. Descriptive study where MEC cases were reviewed with the following variables: age, sex, degree of malignancy, location and year of admission. Results: 17 cases were reviewed with an average of 0.6 cases per year. The relationship of the degree of malignancy with age shows that, in all the degrees of malignancy, the decades 21-30 years and 41-50 years are present. According to the relationship between degree of malignancy and sex, there was a female predominance. A higher frequency was found in minor salivary glands (retromolar trigone and palate). For the evaluation of saliva staining, only 9 cases were reviewed, there was a predominance of moderate saliva staining with 55.5%. Conclusion: MEC was found frequently in minor salivary glands, being more prevalent in women and cases with intermediate degree of malignancy only showed moderate saliva staining.
