Abstract

The epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare neoplasm of the salivary glands with an incidence <1% of all cancers affecting them. It commonly affects the parotid gland and less frequently the submandibular gland and minor salivary glands. EMC is a rare low-grade tumor characterized biphasic tubular structure composed by an internal layer of luminal ductal cells surrounded by clear cells of myoepithelial origin. The patient had good prognostic factors determined in previous studies, and achieved complete treatment-response. Further accumulation of cases and long-term follow-up data are needed to elucidate the pathophysiology and prognosis of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma.

软腭上皮-肌上皮癌病例报告和文献综述

上皮-肌上皮癌（EMC）是一种罕见的唾液腺肿瘤，发病率占所有唾液腺癌症的 1%。它通常影响腮腺，较少影响颌下腺和小唾液腺。EMC 是一种罕见的低级别肿瘤，具有双相管状结构，内层为管腔导管细胞，周围为透明的肌上皮细胞。该患者在既往研究中具有良好的预后因素，并获得了完全的治疗反应。需要进一步积累病例和长期随访数据，以阐明上皮-肌上皮癌的病理生理学和预后。
