The myoepithelioma is a rare salivary gland tumor composed nearly exclusively of myoepithelial cells. A case occurring on the palate of a 22-year-old man is reported. Electron microscopic findings of occasional desmosomes, a basal lamina associated with the plasma memb;rane, and perinuclear cytoplasmic filaments confirmed the diagnosis. The myoepithelioma appears to resemble the pleomorphic adenoma clinically and may be a development variant of the pleomorphic adenoma.
肌上皮瘤是一种罕见的唾液腺肿瘤，几乎完全由肌上皮细胞组成。本文报告了一例发生在一名22岁男性腭部的病例。电镜检查发现偶尔有桥粒、与质膜相关的基膜以及核周细胞质细丝，这些结果证实了诊断。肌上皮瘤在临床上似乎与多形性腺瘤相似，可能是多形性腺瘤的一种发育变体。
