“… There are no specific guidelines for the post-surgical treatment of a malignant myoepithelioma, but MM of the salivary glands has a relatively high tendency to recur locally [18]. There are, indeed, some reports in the literature on MMs of the head and neck region that recurred locally after successful surgical excision [10,25].  As in this case, tumours that display marked histological aggressiveness [high mitotic rate, necrosis] may behave adversely.…”

“…Myoepitheliomas of the salivary glands are rare tumours that occur mostly in the parotid gland [1,4,5]. However, other head and neck sites of origin such as the submandibular gland [19,20] oral cavity [21], palate [3,4,[22][23][24][25] larynx [26,27], parapharyngeal space [28], nasopharynx [29][30][31][32], maxillary sinus [33], external auditory canal [34] have, rarely, been reported in the literature. MMs have also been, sporadically, reported in unusual locations, e.g., the breast [35][36][37], bone [38][39][40] skin [41] and vulva [42].…”

Malignant myoepitheliomas are rare malignant salivary gland neoplasms which usually occur in the parotid gland. Very little material on this topic has been published. This tumour represents a therapeutic challenge since there are no specific recommendations or guidelines. We present a case of malignant myoepithelioma arising de novo in the parotid gland. We discuss our therapeutic approach and considerations on appropriate post-surgical treatment. Then we provide a review of international literature on this interesting and rare oncological entity

A fluctuant palatal swelling

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A 78-year-old man presented with a fluctuant swelling on the hard palate, which had changed little in the 3-4 years it had been present. Given the nature of the clinical history and presentation, a benign salivary gland neoplasm was thought to be the most plausible diagnosis. Following detailed histological examination of the resected specimen, a definitive diagnosis of myoepithelioma was reached. Although a rarely encountered clinical entity, myoepithelioma should be considered when a salivary gland neoplasm is suspected. Diagnosis can only be made on evaluation of histological features necessitating biopsy in such cases.

O carcinoma mioepitelial (MECA) corresponde a apenas 0,1% de todos os tumores de glândulas salivares, apresentando comportamento agressivo, devido seu crescimento infiltrativo, incluindo 37% de recidiva local e 22% de taxa metastática. Até o momento pouco mais de 28 casos de MECA envolvendo glândulas salivares menores foram descritos na literatura, sendo este número ainda menor quando limitados a região de palato. Diante disso, o objetivo dessa revisão integrativa da literatura é reunir uma série de relatos clínicos sobre o manejo de tratamento aplicado à casos de carcinoma mioepitelial em palato. A questão norteadora do estudo foi: “ Qual o manejo de tratamento do carcinoma mioepitelial em palato? ”. As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, Lilacs e SciELO até outubro de 2021. No total 11 estudos publicados entre 2021 e 1996 foram incluídos nessa revisão integrativa, totalizando um total de 14 pacientes diagnosticados MECA em palato, sendo 7 mulheres e 7 homens. O manejo de tratamento base para carcinoma mioepitelial em palato é a cirurgia de excisão ampla, podendo de escolha do profissional e dependendo de grau de malignidade o uso de tratamento adicional, sendo de predileção à radioterapia.
