Myoepithelioma and malignant myoepithelioma arising from the salivary gland: computed tomography and magnetic resonance findings.
We report the CT and MRI appearance of myoepithelioma and malignant myoepithelioma arising from accessory salivary glands of the soft palate and the submandibular gland. Correlation of the imaging features and histologic finding is presented. Radiologists should bear in mind that myoepithelioma and malignant myoepithelioma are included in radiological differential diagnosis of head and neck tumours.
