Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma of the Palate: Report of a Case and Review of the Literatures
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is considered as a rare malignant salivary gland neoplasm with good prognosis, low recurrence rate and rare metastasis. Here we present a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in a 42-year-old female with a swelling of 3-year duration in her palate. Histopathologic evaluation of the lesion demonstrated a well-circumscribed, biphasic salivary gland t...
متن کاملPleomorphic adenoma of the soft palate: myoepithelial cell predominant.
The pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. A remarkable morphological diversity can exist from one tumor to the next. We present here a case of pleomorphic adenoma of minor salivary glands of the soft palate which had predominantly myoepithelial cells with minimal stroma, ductal cells, or tubular elements.
متن کاملClear cell myoepithelioma of the hard palate.
Clear cell myoepithelioma arising from the minor salivary glands of hard palate is a rare entity. Most of the cases of palatal myoepitheliomas reported so far are either plasmacytoid or spindle cell type. Our literature search revealed only one case report of clear cell myoepithelioma of the palate. We report a case in a 21-year-old female who presented to us with a non-ulcerating, painless fir...

CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION Myoepitheliomas are tumors arising from myoepithelial cells mainly or exclusively. Myoepitheliomas mostly occur in saliva...
متن کاملAggressive Clear Cell Chondrosarcoma of the Hard Palate
Chondrosarcomas constitute 1-3% of all head and neck tumors. 2% of all chondrosarcomas are of the “clear cell” variety which follows a locally aggressive, relatively indolent course without predominant invasion of soft tissue. We present a case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a aggressive variant of clear cell chondrosarcoma.
