Abstract:
A recurrent myoepithelioma of the lung in a 36-year-old man is reported. The neoplasm showed histologic features identical to those described in myoepitheliomas of major and minor salivary glands on the basis of Dardick's morphological classification of Myoepitheliomas. He was treated totally with surgical en-bloc resection including the chest wall. The tumor was found to be well encapsulated, and it appeared to be mainly composed of plasmacytoid cells and clear cells with occasional microcystic spaces in a solid growth form by light microscopy. Immunocytochemical, ultrastructural and flow-cytometrical studies supported myoepithelioma differentiation.
