Myoepithelial carcinoma represents only 0.1-0.45% of salivary gland tumors, the palate being the most common location. We present a case of myoepithelial carcinoma of the minor salivary glands in the maxilla; this entity is so rare that only six cases have been reported in the literature -a 64-year-old female with progressive pain and swelling of the maxilla. A biopsy was made, and myoepithelial carcinoma was diagnosed. A left infrastructural maxillectomy was performed, and the tumor was resected entirely. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy with 60 Gy. 1-year surveillance revealed no local or systemic recurrence.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the most prevalent neoplasm of the small bowel; these present a diagnostic challenge because of their low prevalence and non-specific clinical manifestations. Breast metastasis is rare. We present the case of a 55-year-old female with a painful nodule in the right breast. Mammography reported a solid mass, BBIRADS 4C, with no axillary lymph nodes. Biopsy reported infiltrating ductal carcinoma. Conservative surgery was performed. Histopathology findings are compatible with a well-differentiated (G2) metastatic NET with a gastrointestinal primary. Ga. DOTANOC positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan showed proximal jejunum diffuse mucosal thickening with two foci of increased radiotracer uptake with adjacent adenopathies.
