Clear-cell myoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary glands: A clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural study of two cases involving the submandibular gland with review of the literature

Risk Factors and Prognosis for Myoepithelial Carcinoma of the Major Salivary Glands

“…Myoepithelial carcinoma of the submandibular gland is extremely rare, and most reports of it are single case reports, with only 23 clearly documented cases of myoepithelial carcinoma arising in the submandibular gland. 1,3,5,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Our cohort, although small, suggests that patients with myoepithelial carcinoma of the submandibular gland might be more likely to experience local-regional recurrence and distant metastasis than patients with myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland. These results suggest that more aggressive therapy for lesions in the submandibular gland may well be justified.…”

Clear cell myoepithelial carcinoma of minor salivary gland: a case report

“…To the authors' knowledge, only 16 cases of CCMC, including the present case, have been reported 1,[3][4][5][6]8 . The male to female ratio is 7:9, and the mean age is 55.6 years ranging from 37 to 85 years.…”

Myoepithelial carcinoma of buccal mucosa: A rare tumor

“…The cellular configurations in myoepithelial carcinoma are the same as those in benign myoepithelioma these include spindle,[19] plasmacytoid, epithelioid, clear and mixed cells. [2021] The epithelioid cell type is the most common and purely clear cell myoepithelial carcinomas are rare and hard to distinguish from other types of clear cell neoplasms. [418]…”
