Abstract
-
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma and basal cell adenocarcinoma are uncommon,
low-grade malignant epithelial neoplasms of salivary gland. They occur predominantly in
the parotid glands with frequent recurrences and occasional distant metastases. We
report an unusual case of combined epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma and basal cell
adenocarcinoma within the same mass of the parotid gland in a 32-year-old woman. To
the best of our knowledge, this is the first such a combined carcinoma case.
