Myoepithelioma of the trachea is an extremely rare disease. The neoplasm shows histologic features identical to those described in myoepithelioma of salivary glands. The myoepithelioma cells demonstrate the numerous myofilament, desmosomal cellular attachment, cytoplasmic glycogen and pinocytotic vesicles. In immunohistochemical study, myoepithelioma cells show the positive antibody reactions to actin, keratin, vimentin and S-100 protein. A case of myoepithelioma arising from trachea in the seventy-two-year old male diagnosed by microscopic finding and immunohistochemistry is presented.

Myoepithelioma는 타액선에 발생하는 드문 질환이다. Myoepithelioma는 소아 및 청소년보다 성인에서 호발한다. 구개부의 종창을 주소로 8세 여환이 본원으로 내원하였다. 환아의 나이와 상대적으로 큰 종양의 크기를 고려하여, 전신 마취 하에 구개부 점막 조직을 보존하는 보존적인 외과적 절제술이 시행되었다. 수술 부위의 치유가 적절히 일어났으며, 40개월의 관찰기간 동안 재발되지 않았다. 주변의 구개부 조직을 보존하는 최소 침습적 제거술은 소아에서 발생되는 myoepithelioma의 치료시 유용할 것으로 사료되었다.

A myoepithelial carcinoma, a rare malignant salivary gland neoplasm, occurs mostly in the parotid gland. The incidence of myoepithelioma is less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors, and malignant myoepithelioma is even more rare. Biological behavior of myoepithelial carcinoma has not been fully clarified. Malignant myoepithelioma shows clinicopathologic diversity and presents with various stages of myoepithelial differentiation. The definite treatment for malignant myoepithelioma is surgical excision, and the role of radiation therapy and chemotherapy is not yet established. In this study, we have experienced two patients with malignant myoepithelioma of the parotid gland who were treated with surgical excision.

Purpose: Myoepithelioma is a rare tumor that originates exclusively from myoepithelial cells of the salivary glands, breast and the prostate. Myoepithelioma accounts for less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. The objective of our study is to present our experience of the infra-auricular mass which was finally diagnosed as a myoepithelioma. Methods: A 54-year-old woman was presented with a firm, movable, slow-growing infra-auricular mass with 3 cm in diameter. MRI scans and fine needle biopsy was performed for preoperative diagnostic study. A superficial parotidectomy was preceded and removed tumor successfully. Results: Histopathological study revealed a myoepithelioma of plasmacytoid type. Patient's postoperative course was uneventful without any complication and had no evidence of recurrence of tumor for 9 months follow-up period. Conclusion: Myoepithelioma in the parotid gland shows similar clinical courses and intraoperative finding to the pleomorphic adenoma and superficial parotidectomy was selective choice for treatment.

Myoepithelioma is a rare benign neoplasm that mostly arises in the major salivary glands and sometimes in the minor salivary glands, which account only for less than 1% of all salivary glands neoplasms. However, its extra-salivary involvement is even rarer and only a few cases of nasal cavity myoepithelioma were reported in the English-language literature so far. In this case report, we present a 40-year-old female with unilateral nasal obstruction diagnosed as myoepithelioma of the nasal septum and treated with endoscopic sinus surgery.

근상피종은 방추형, 형질세포양, 상피세포양, 투명세포들의 다양한 비율로 구성되는 양성종양으로 기관내 발생빈도가 극히 희귀하여 현재까지 전세계적으로 1례가 보고 되었으며 국내에서는 아직 보고례가 없었다. 본 증례는 우측 경부 종괴를 주소로 내원한 38세 여자 환자로 갑상선 종양및 기관종괴 진단하에 절제문합술을 시행하였다. 절제된 종괴는 주위와 잘 경계지워지는 충실성 조직으로 이루워져 있으며 주로 방추형 혹은 상피양 세포로 구성되고 간간히 세포질의 투명변성이 보였다. 이들 세포는 S-100 단백과 평활근 액틴에 양성이었고 전자현미경 검색상 세포질내에 다량의 소섬유와 기저막 물질이 세포질외에서 관찰되어 양성 근상피종에 합당한 소견을 보였다. 환자는 술후 8개월째 합병증없이 정상생활을 영위하고 있다.

Myoepithelioma was recognized as a histological distinct entity by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1991. Myoepithelial cells are believed to be of ectodermal origin. In salivary glands, the myoepithelial cells that surround the intercalated ducts are spindled, which is in contrast to the large stellate ones that envelop the acini. Myoepithelioma is a benign salivary gland tumor that consists entirely of myoepithelial cells. A 53-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of a painless mass originating from the right parotid gland. The mass grew rapidly reaching a size of approximately 6 cm. The patient had no facial paralysis. The authors performed right parotidectomy. Immunohistochemistry study of this tumor showed that it was positive for vimentin, positive for S-100, focally positive for pancytokeratin, and focally positive for p63 and that it had a Ki-67 labeling index (below 10%). Additionally, the tumor was negative for epithelial membrane antigen, negative for actin, negative for desmin, negative for CD34 and negative for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. The authors present a case of benign spindle cell myoepithelioma of the parotid gland in a 53-year-old man diagnosed after immunohistochemistry study, describing its importance, along with a brief review of the literature.

저자등은 36세 남자환자에서 재발성 폐 근상피종을 경험하여 보고하는 바이다. 이 종양은 Dardick에 의한 근상피종의 형태학적 분류에 근거하여 볼때, 대ㆍ소 타액선에서 발견된 근상피종들에서 기술된 조직학적 특성과 동일한 종양이었다. 환자는 흉벽 일부를 포함한 완전 절제 수술을 시행 받았다. 종양은 비교적 잘 싸여 있었고, 광학 현미경상 주로 형질세포양 세포와 투명세포로 구성되어 있었고, 고형 성장 양식을 보이고 있었다. 면역세포화학적, 전자현미경적, 그리고 유동 세포 분석법에 의한 검사를 실시하였고, 폐 근상피종에 합당한 소견을 확인할 수 있었다.

Myoepithelioma is histologically composed exclusively of myoepithelial cells. Myoepithelial cells are present in the major and minor salivary glands. Salivary gland neoplasms that frequently contain myoepithelial cells are the pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid-cystic carcinoma, and epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma of intercalated duct origin. Neoplasms composed exclusively of myoepithelial cells are rare. Myoepitheliomas may be composed of spindle-shaped cells, plasmacytoid(hyaline) cells, or combination of both in varying proportions. A case is reported of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma with ultrastructural confirmation, together with reviews of the English literature.

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.
