Clear cell myoepithelioma of the hard palate

Abstract

Salivary gland myoepitheliomas are rare tumours. We report the case of a 40-year-old female who presented to us with a hard palatal mass. The tumour was excised with a healthy rim of surrounding tissue. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed the tumour to be a myoepithelioma of the clear cell variety.
