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...
متن کاملMyoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland.
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 کاملMucinous myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland: report of a new histological variant
Mucinous myoepithelial carcinoma (MMC) is a newly recognized histologic variant of myoepithelial carcinoma, and only 14 cases have been reported in the English literature. The authors herein report an additional case of MMC of the parotid gland. A 72-year-old man presented with a right-sided facial mass. Computed tomography demonstrated a 5.6×4.3×2.9 cm soft tissue mass in the right parotid, wi...
