title: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy findings in epithelioid myoepithelioma of the parotid gland: a case report.
abstract: We describe the fine-needle aspiration biopsy findings in a case of epithelioid myoepithelioma of the parotid gland in a 24-yr-old male. The cytologic features of myoepithelioma of the parotid gland are only documented in a few case reports and we believe the cytologic description of the epithelioid variant has been described in only one other case. The differential diagnosis with other salivary gland neoplasms is discussed.
