Abstract
Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare biphasic tumor of salivary glands with low malignant potential. Although known to occur in submandibular gland and minor salivary glands, its most common location is parotid. Clinical and radiological findings often mimic a benign tumor. Because of rarity of EMC a standard treatment guideline is not yet known. Surgical resection is the most widely used approach. Although it is a low grade tumor, local recurrence rates of 23-50 % have been reported with 25 % chance of distant metastasis. Patients with histo-pathologic markers of aggressive disease should be considered for adjuvant radiotherapy. We report a case of epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma of parotid in a 40 year male that was treated with surgery followed by post-operative radiotherapy.
