Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland.
We report a rare case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the parotid gland. A 70-year-old man presented with a 4-months-history of right-sided subauricular swelling. Computed tomographic scans revealed a well-defined mass with cystic lesion, measuring about 40 mm in diameter, in the right parotid gland. Because the tumor occupied superficial lobe, he underwent superficial parotidect...
متن کاملEpithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with high-grade transformation of parotid gland
RATIONALE Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is regarded as a rare low-grade malignant tumor of the salivary gland, accounting for 0.4% to 1% of all salivary gland tumors. However, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with high-grade transformation (EMC with HGT) is extremely rare, therefore it is easily to be inappropriately diagnosed and treated. Herein, we report an unusual case of EMC w...

Myoepithelial carcinomas exhibit a wide spectrum of cytomorphologic features and diverse clinical outcomes. As a result of their morphologic heterogeneity, they can be confused easily with many tumours. Herein we report the morphological features of myoepithelial carcinoma in a 74-year-old female clinically presenting with a parotid mass. FNAB revealed hypercellular, three-dimensional clusters ...
متن کاملEpithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of parotid gland: a case report with immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies.
A 66-year-old man presented with a painless mass of the parotid gland. Light and electron microscopic studies verified the basic nature of the tumor as epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, a low-grade malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Pathologically, there were two types of cells; the inner eosinophilic epithelial cells lining the ducts and the outer clear cells. The former cells display...
متن کاملEpithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland, unusual malignancy radiologically simulating a benign lesion: case report
BACKGROUND Ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are widely used in the clinical diagnosis of parotid gland tumors and their efficacy in identifying benign lesions is well documented. However, problems arise when facing some malignant lesions. Only few cases of salivary gland low grade malignant tumors have been previously reported in the literature comp...
