title: A spindle cell myoepithelioma of parotid gland : a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Myoepthelioma is a rare salivary gland tumor which is usually located in parotid gland and in minor salivary glands.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of myoepithelioma arising in an accessory paritid gland in a 47-yearold woman who presented with a slowly expanding subcutaneous nodule on the left cheek, that was within the parotid gland at surgical resection . This tumor was composed of spindle cells. Immunophenotypical characterization demonstrated its myoepithelial nature.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the subcutaneous tissue, this unusual neoplasm may be confused with soft tissue tumors showing spindle cell features.
