Abstract:
A female patient with a dark red mass in the of preauricular area for over 3 months was hospitalized. Enhanced CT scan and ultrasonography showed that the mass had clear boundaries and was rich in blood supply. The patient was misdiagnosed as preauricular hemangioma, then the mass was removed as a benign tumor and found irrelevant to parot, SMA(+), Vim(+), S-100(+), indicating myoepithelial carcinoma. So a radical excision was performed to get negative incised margin. The patient didn't undergo postoperative chemotherapy but demonstrated no evidence of recurrence over a 12-month follow-up.
