Myoepithelioma : benign or malignant-a diagnostic dilemma

الملخص EN

Malignant myoepithelioma of salivary gland which is also known as myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare disease.

It has a relatively poor clarification of its biologic behavior, clinicopathologic features and immunohistochemical profile.

Presentation may be the same as other benign salivary gland tumors.

A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose this rare but malignant condition early and this is especially imperative when there is a recurrent tumor with histopathological examination report of benign findings.

We report a case of malignant myoepithelioma of right submandibular gland that underwent surgical excision with neck dissection and chemoradiotherapy without signs of recurrence after treatment.
