Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma was first described by Danath et al. in 1972 and is classified as a rare low-grade biphasic neoplasm of the salivary glands. This case report presents a male patient who had a lesion in the oral mucosa with a history of recurrence of the tumor. The outcome resulted in a profile consistent with an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with a high degree of transformation. The case highlights the importance of histopathological evaluation of oral lesions, which occasionally may not present typical clinical aspects of malignant lesion.
上皮-肌上皮癌于1972年由达纳特等人首次描述，被归类为涎腺罕见的低度双相性肿瘤。本病例报告介绍了一名男性患者，其口腔黏膜有病变且有肿瘤复发史。结果显示符合高度转化的上皮-肌上皮癌特征。该病例突出了口腔病变组织病理学评估的重要性，因为这些病变偶尔可能不表现出恶性病变的典型临床特征。
