Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma [EMC]: uncommon tumor with rare presentation, importance of immuno-histochemistry for the diagnosis

ABSTRACT

Epithelial myoepithelial carcinomas [EMC] are rare carcinomas of the salivary glands. We report here the 6th case of this tumor which arises at the nasal cavity. In case of any histopathological report shows up a pleomorphic adenoma in an unusual site, we highly recommended the use of immunohistochemistry assay as an important tool for the diagnosis of this tumor
