Myoepithelioma of parotid gland presenting as infra‐auricular subcutaneous mass

Abstract: Myoepithelioma is a rare but well-characterized group of tumours, among which myoepithelioma of the salivary glands is the best known. We report two patients with myoepithelioma of parotid gland presenting as infra-auricular subcutaneous mass. The lesions were clinically suspected to be epidermal cyst. The biopsies revealed that most of the tumour cells showed epithelioid features with oval or spindle eosinophilic cytoplasm. No ductal or syringomatous epithelial structures were observed. The tumour cells showe… Show more

“…The patient remained tumour-free at 1-year of the follow-up. usually are not present in the normal myoepithelial cells, are very sensitive markers of a neoplastic myoepithelium [12,13]. Because a neoplastic transformation causes the myoepithelium to lose or modify its smooth-muscle phenotype, immunohistochemical studies which demonstrate the smooth-muscle differentiation in these cells have been less useful.…”
