Myoepithelioma, a generally benign tumor comprised of myoepithlial cells, is an uncommon salivary gland tumor. Myoepithelioma originates primarily in the parotid gland, but several isolated cases have been described. Although myoepithelioma has a benign nature, but there is a potential risk of malignant change and recurrence in case of incomplete resection. We acknowledge that benign myoepithelioma originating from the auricle has not been reported in the English literature. We present a rare case of 27-year-old female who had recurrent benign myoepithelioma originating from the auricle and already had been given twice operations at the other clinic.
肌上皮瘤是一种由肌上皮细胞组成的通常为良性的肿瘤，是一种罕见的涎腺肿瘤。肌上皮瘤主要起源于腮腺，但也有一些孤立病例的报道。虽然肌上皮瘤本质上是良性的，但如果切除不完全，存在恶变和复发的潜在风险。我们承认，英文文献中尚未报道过起源于耳廓的良性肌上皮瘤。我们报告一例罕见病例，一名27岁女性患有起源于耳廓的复发性良性肌上皮瘤，且已在其他诊所接受过两次手术。
