Myoepitheliomas are very rare salivary gland neoplasms seen mainly in the major salivary glands (40%) followed by minor salivary glands (21%). Palatal myoepitheliomas are rare, with clear cell types being even rarer. Due to the rarity of this tumor, it lacks specific features that are diagnostic in cytology. Histopathology, along with immunohistochemistry, is needed for its confirmative diagnosis. We present a 28-year-old female with slow-growing, painless palatal swelling diagnosed as clear cell myoepithelioma on histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
肌上皮瘤是非常罕见的唾液腺肿瘤,主要见于大唾液腺(约40%),其次是小唾液腺(约21%)。腭部肌上皮瘤罕见,透明细胞型更为罕见。由于这种肿瘤罕见,缺乏细胞学诊断的特异性特征。确诊需要组织病理学检查以及免疫组织化学检查。我们报告一例28岁女性患者,其腭部肿物生长缓慢、无痛,经组织病理学和免疫组织化学检查诊断为透明细胞肌上皮瘤。
