Abstract
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is rare, low grade malignant tumor of the salivary glands that exhibits a dual composition of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Most of these tumors arise in the parotid gland, and only few occur in the submandibular gland or minor salivary glands. We describe here a rare case of epithelialmyoepithelial carcinoma arising from a minor salivary gland in the nasopharynx, one of the most unusual locations. The clinical and biological behavior of this tumor is not yet known.
