ABSTRACT


Myoepithelial carcinomas have a nature of occurring infrequently. While the histopathological characterization is limited and so few cases have been reported, it is important to keep myoepithelial carcinoma on the list of differential diagnoses and should be ruled out like any other soft tissue tumor.

Keywords: Immunohistochemistry, Metastasis, Myoepithelial, Recurrence
