Overview

According to the AJJC 7th edition, there are 6 stages of mucoepidermoid carcinoma based on the tumor size and node invasion. Each stage is assigned a letter and a number that designate the tumoral size and node invasion.

Staging

AJCC 7th Edition

Tumor

  • T1 - 2cm or less w/o extraparenchymal extension
  • T2 - >2cm but not greater than 4cm; and w/o extraparenchymal extension
  • T3 - >4cm or with extraparenchymal extension
  • T4a - invades skin, mandible, ear canal or facial nerve
  • T4b - invades skull base, pterygoid plates or encases carotid


Nodes

  • NX - Cannot be assessed
  • N0 - No regional lymph nodes metastasis
  • N1 - Single ipsilateral lymph node, <= 3cm in greatest dimension
  • N2
  • N2a - Single ipsilateral lymph node, 3-6 cm in greatest dimension
  • N2b - Multiple ipsilateral lymph nodes, <= 6cm in greatest dimension
  • N2c - Bilateral or contralateral lymph nodes, <= 6cm in greatest dimension
  • N3 - Lymph node(s) >6 cm in greatest dimension


Overall stage

  • I - T1 N0
  • II - T2 N0
  • III - T3 N0-1, or T1-3 N1 (i.e. T3 or N1)
  • IVA - T4a N0-2, or T1-4a N2 (i.e. T4a or N2)
  • IVB - T4b N0-3, or T1-4b N3 (i.e. T4b or N3)
  • IVC - M1
