Abstract
Myoepithelioma is a rare benign tumor of the salivary glands. We report an observation of an accessory salivary gland myoepithelioma discovered incidentally in a 36-year-old man. The clinical aspect of the lesion suggests the diagnosis of a benign tumor. Microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the myoepithelial nature of the tumor. The diagnosis of this neoplasm remains controversial, however, due to the variable clinical and histological aspects. The prognosis is good Treatment is surgical.
