Abstract :

Myoepitheliomas account for less than 1.5% of all salivary gland tumors. On H & E it shows well encapsulated tumor comprising of tumor cells arranged in sheets and small clusters. Three major types have been identified: spindle cell, hyaline (plasmacytoid) and clear cell. S-100 shows diffuse positivity confirming myoepithelial origin of the cells. According to some authors all myoepitheliomas of clear cell type should be regarded as potentially malignant.
