The correct diagnosis of high-grade mucoepidermoid (MEC), which is composed of solid islands of intermediate and squamous cells, may be challenging, due to its similarity to other tumours, mainly with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The present report employed immunohistochemical technique against different cytokeratins (CKs), in order to differentiate these two entities. : Six high-grade MEC and six SCC of the parotid region, retrieved from the files of both Oral Pathology Department of the School of Dentistry of University of São Paulo and Pathology Department of A.C. Camargo Hospital, were submitted immunohistochemical technique against Cks 7,8, 10, 13, 14 and 19. : High-grade MEC was positive for Cks 7, 8, 13, 14 and 19. The cases of SCC showed strong positivity for CK14, and CK10 was present only in focal areas. Our results highlight the use of CKs (especially CK14) to differentiate high-grade MEC and SCC.
