Resumen

ENCINAS BASCONES, Alejandro et al. Carcinoma mioepitelial de glándula submaxilar: caso clínico y revisión de la literatura. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.4, pp.233-238. ISSN 2173-9161.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2014.06.004.

Myoepithelial carcinomas or malignant myoepitheliomas are considered an uncommon salivary gland tumour with a predilection for the parotid gland. A case report is presented, along with a literature review in order to investigate the biological behaviour and proper management of myoepithelial carcinomas. Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features are shown to achieve a better understanding this entity and to prevent their easy confusion with many other tumours.

Palabras clave : Salivary glands; Myoepithelial carcinoma; Prognosis and treatment; Differential diagnosis; Immunohistological variants.
