We present a case of 53-year-old man with an extremely rare malignant neoplasm, minor salivary gland epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the hard palate. The lesion was detected incidentally by a dentist, and the patient was successfully treated with surgical excision and postoperative irradiation. The patient has remained asymptomatic and free of disease for 4 years after diagnosis.Minor salivary gland epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare and potentially aggressive tumor. The favorable outcome in the present case encourages the use of combined surgical excision and postoperative irradiation with curative intent.
我们报告一例53岁男性患者，患有极其罕见的恶性肿瘤——硬腭小唾液腺上皮-肌上皮癌。该病变由一名牙医偶然发现，患者通过手术切除和术后放疗成功治愈。诊断后4年，患者一直无症状且未出现疾病复发。小唾液腺上皮-肌上皮癌是一种极其罕见且具有潜在侵袭性的肿瘤。本病例的良好预后鼓励采用手术切除联合术后放疗以达到治愈目的。
