Hi. I am a 29 year old who was just diagnosed with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of a minor saliva gland. I had a 1cm mass on the floor of my mouth that was removed 2 weeks ago. My doctor is now recommending a neck dissection to determine if there is any lymph node involment.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma-intermediate grade. Removed 3/05. Additional surgery to get clean margins and selective neck dissection 4/05. 30 lymph nodes removed. All clear!!
