Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare biphasic low grade neoplasm of salivary glands; it most commonly occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. Here a case of 58-year-old female presented with left cheek swelling of one-year duration. CT scan revealed a localized submandibular salivary gland tumor mass not involving surrounding tissues. Histological examin...

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...

Background: Myoepithelial carcinoma, also called malignant myoepithelioma, is a relatively rare malignant tumor that occurs most frequently in the salivary glands. A few isolated cases have been described in other locations, including the lung, bronchus, oral cavity, nasopharynx and larynx. The region of cavernous sinus is an uncommon condition of involvement in myoepithelial carcinoma. To the ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to present a rare neoplasm, Primary myoepithelial carcinoma arising from the palate, and to review its diagnostic criteria, pathologic and clinical characteristics, treatment options and prognosis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION Myoepitheliomas are tumors arising from myoepithelial cells mainly or exclusively. Myoepitheliomas mostly occur in saliva...

Myoepithelial carcinoma, the malignant counterpart of benign myoepithelioma, is one of the rarest salivary gland neoplasms. It is composed almost exclusively of tumour cells with myoepithelial differentiation, characterized by infiltrative growth and potential for metastasis. We herein, report a case of myoepithelial carcinoma in a 50 years old male with reticular morphology. Reticular variant ...

Dedifferentiation is defined as high-grade malignant tumor development out of a low-grade malignant tumor. We present an adenocarcinoma tumor of the parotid gland that was dedifferentiated from a low-grade epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma and was followed up for 3 years. Our patient, a 46-year-old female, presented with a left parotid mass of 20-year duration. Histopathologic results showed t...

Primary cutaneous neoplasms of myoepithelial differentiation are uncommon. Cutaneous myoepithelial carcinomas are rare. We report a case of cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma in a 47-year-old man with a history of end-stage renal disease and renal transplant 19 years prior who presented to the hospital with a 3-month history of diffuse bone pain and an ulcerated scalp mass with multiple satellit...

Introduction: Myoepithelial carcinomas are rare malignant neoplasms, which known to arise from the salivary glands or other organs. Case Presentation: Here, we present a case of myoepithelial carcinoma in 64-year-old woman, presenting clinic with painful ankle mass for past three years. Ultrasonography showed 1 cm, iso- hypoechoic on medial malleolus right ankle. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
