Abstract

Myoepithelioma is composed predominantly or exclusively of myoepithelial cells. It is most frequently located in parotid gland, the palate and the breasts. It accounts for less than l% of all salivary gland tumors. Surgical excision which accompany a marginal amount of uninvolved tissue is curative. We report a case of parotid gland myoepithelioma treated by surgery.
