Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Some malignant neoplasias induce the appearance of local or systemic manifestations at distant sites, which can act as indicators of their presence in a process named paraneoplastic syndrome. Granulomatous reactions have already been described related to malignancies. This report describes a case of synchronous orofacial granulomatosis and mucoepidermoid carcinoma and discusses the significance of this association.
