Abstract

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.
