Salivary gland myoepitheliomas are rare tumours, accounting for less than 1 per cent of neoplasms of the salivary glands. Myoepithelioma of the palate is very rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the world literature. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis supports the myoepithelial origin of this tumour. Here, we report three cases of myoepithelioma of the palate in adult males and review previously reported cases.
