title: A case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland.
abstract: Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas comprise approximately 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms. Most tumors arise in the major salivary glands, especially in the parotid gland. We present a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland in a 65-year-old male patient. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an irregular and heterogeneous mass in the left parotid gland. Superficial parotidectomy was performed. There was no evidence of recurrence during a 21-month follow-up.
