Abstract

Myoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare, malignant epithelial tumor which is usually encountered in the parotid region. In this report, a myoepithelial carcinoma arising from a minor salivary gland in the nasopharynx is presented, along with a discussion of the clinical, histopathological and immunocytochemical characteristics of this rare disorder. Larger clinical series and longer follow-up periods are needed in order to establish the best therapy option for these patients.

摘要

肌上皮癌是一种极其罕见的恶性上皮性肿瘤，通常发生于腮腺区。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例起源于鼻咽部小唾液腺的肌上皮癌，并对这种罕见疾病的临床、组织病理学及免疫细胞化学特征进行了讨论。为了确定针对这些患者的最佳治疗方案，需要更大规模的临床系列研究和更长的随访期。
