Abstract
|
|
|
|
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the salivary gland is a rare tumor that comprises approximately 1% of all salivary gland tumors. It has a distinctive histological appearance comprising ductal structures with an inner epithelial cell component and an outer layer of myoepithelial cells. We report a case of EMC of the parotid gland in a 41- year-old man. He presented left-sided subauricular swelling developed 3-month earlier. Neck CT scans revealed a well-defined mass in the left superficial parotid gland. He underwent superficial parotidectomy and was diagnosed as EMC. He was taken postoperative radiotherapy. There was no evidence of recurrence during a follow-up period of 12 months.
