Abstract
-
Myoepithelial carcinomas are rare, malignant salivary neoplasms in which the tumor cells almost exclusively manifest myoepithelial differentiation. A 50-year-old man presented with an indolent movable submucosal mass of 10 years' duration on the right upper oral mucosa. The diagnosis of myoepithelial carcinoma originated from minor salivary gland was made by histopathologic and immunohistochemical evaluation.
