Abstract
Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is an immunodeficiency disorder with increased incidence of malignancy. Most of the tumors are lymphomas, and salivary gland neoplasms are very uncommon. A case with ataxia telangiectasia and mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland, the second case in English literature, was presented. The treatment was discussed under the view of the literature.
