Abstract
Epithelial–myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is characterized by a biphasic cytomorphology comprising inner duct-forming epithelium and outer, prominently clear, enveloping myoepithelial cells. EMC typically occurs in major salivary glands, but also in the minor glands of the oral mucosa. We report herein a rare case of EMC arising from the intrabuccal mucosa in a 28-year-old man, with no recurrence after surgical excision and postoperative radiotherapy despite of partially positive surgical margin for tumor. The clinical and pathological features of this tumor are discussed.
