Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CME) is the most common malignancy of salivary glands and occurs most often at the level of major salivary glands, being the most affected parotid. At minor salivary glands level occurs most frequently on the palate. This article presents the case of a 30 years old male patient with no medical history of importance, who attends the service of Stomatology on Central Hospital of the National Police (Bogota, Colombia), referring presence of asymptomatic lesion on soft palate with 5 months of evolution. Which it was diagnosed as low-grade carcinoma Mucoepidermoid. The objective was to present a case of CME in the soft palate to collaborate with clinical dentists to guide the early diagnosis of neoplastic lesions of glandular origin, concluding that the presence of lesions in the oral cavity is important to have a wide variety of diagnostic impressions and perform biopsy and histopathological studies to establish a definitive diagnosis.
