Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMEC) is a tumor composed of variable proportions of two cell types that typically form duct like structures. It is predominantly tumor of the parotid gland. This rare neplasm represents 1% of all salivary gland tumors. EMECs are solitary, well-circumscribed, firm masses measuring between 2 cm and 8 cm in greatest dimension. Surgical excision with disease free margins is the treatment of choice.

A-67 year-old male patient was presented with a painless mass on the right preauricular region. The mass had a cystic component on the ultrasound. Pathologic examination showed a uniform pattern of ductular epithelium surrounded by clear cells of myoepithelial origin. It was reported as EMEC. There was no recurrence a twenty month follow up.©2007, Firat University, Medical Faculty
