“…No specific cell type or growth pattern has demonstrated a notable impact on the prognosis of myoepithelioma. However, incomplete tumor resection appears to be associated with a higher recurrence rate in some of the cases [19,20]. This case was a good experience in understanding the plethora of differential diagnoses and the variety of clinical manifestations of palatal minor salivary gland tumors.…”

Myoepithelioma is an uncommon benign tumor of the orofacial region arising from the salivary glands. These tumors are composed of specifically myoepithelial cells lacking ductal differentiation and were initially considered as a type of pleomorphic adenoma. Though they commonly arise from the parotid gland, there are a few cases that emerge from the minor salivary glands of the palate and oral cavity. Myoepitheliomas resemble many other tumors arising from the palate including pleomorphic adenoma. This report depicts a case of myoepithelioma of the minor salivary gland of the palate in a 23-year-old patient and the successful management of the lesion.
