Abstract:
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma(EMC) of the salivary glands is a rare tumor first discribed in 1972. The EMC comprises approximately 1% of all salivary gland tumors. It is characterized by tubular and solid growth pattern with a dual cell population including an inner layer of epithelial cells, which is peripherally bounded by a layer of clear myoepithelial cells. It is demonstrated that tumor with solid slowly growing pattern, generally have a higher frequency of local recurrence. We report a case of parotidic EMC in a 30 years old woman with literature review
