“…The literature review demonstrated that myoepitheliomas present as slow‐growing (1 month to 20 years, N = 21), firm cutaneous nodules . These tumours are painless (N = 16), although tenderness was reported in a few cases (N = 5) . Myoepithelial carcinomas presented with a similar slow growth pattern over a period of several months (N = 4) .…”

This study describes a case of primary myoepithelial carcinoma of the skin and reviews the available literature on this topic. Myoepitheliomas and carcinomas arise most frequently from myoepithelial cells within the salivary glands but are found in many anatomical locations. We documented a case of an 80-year-old man with a 2 × 2 × 1 cm tumour located on the scalp. This tumour emerged over a period of 2 months. The tumour was radically excised, and histological examination revealed a cutaneous myoepithelial carcinoma. At an 18-month follow-up, no recurrence of the tumour was found. A systematic literature search identified 23 papers that reported 58 cases of cutaneous myoepitheliomas and myoepithelial carcinomas. All cases are reviewed in the presented paper. This case report and literature review serves to increase awareness regarding myoepithelial carcinomas. These tumours exhibit high metastatic potential, and it is thus very important to perform radical surgery.

“…The stromal components can vary, with combinations of myxoid and hyaline areas and various components of metaplasia, including adipocytic, chrondroid and osteoid . Studies have shown variable immunohistochemical staining with a range of markers that label cells of differing lineages, including neural crest, epithelial and mesenchymal (Table ) . Owing to the lack of uniformity in cytomorphology, combined with the inconsistent immunohistochemical staining pattern, these tumors are often difficult to diagnose.…”

“…The tumor typically presents on the extremities as a small, slow-growing subepidermal mass [1]. Myoepithelioma is comprised solely of myoepithelial cells [2]. Myoepithelial cells are normally seen around the secretory portion of apocrine and eccrine sweat glands in the skin [2].…”
