Myoepithelial carcinomas exhibit a wide spectrum of cytomorphologic features and diverse clinical outcomes. As a result of their morphologic heterogeneity, they can be confused easily with many tumours. Herein we report the morphological features of myoepithelial carcinoma in a 74-year-old ...
Journal: Head Neck Pathol. 2014 Jun;8(2):146-50.
The molecular profile of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas (EMCa) has not been well studied, though a recent association with Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (HRAS) mutations has been noted. To confirm and validate this, we surveyed fifteen EMCa for HRAS codon 61 mutations ...

Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMCa) is a rare but well characterized biphasic salivary gland malignancy with several variant morphologies. Oncocytic and apocrine EMCa are uncommon variants that constitute up to 8 % of all EMCa. Both variants invoke an eosinophilic or oncocytic ...
Journal: Acta Med Port. 2011 Dec;24 Suppl 3():675-80.
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare tumor with predilection for the major salivary glands, mainly the parotid gland. It is a tumor of low grade malignancy, and despite its tendency to local recurrence with low metastatic potential, rare cases of EMC may have an aggressive ...
