Abstract: Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (short for EMC) is an extremely uncommon, malignant salivary gland tumor. This tumor addresses under 1% of all salivary organ tumors. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging appearance are nonspecific. A more precise definition of the disease can be obtained by histological and immunohistochemical study. Although the primary treatment for the tumor is surgical resection, adjuvant radiation therapy may be indicated. It is considered as a low-grade malignant tumor. However, it presents a potential of local recurrence and possibility of metastases. We report a case of 57-year-old patient with an unusual location of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in the accessory parotid gland, treated successfully without recurrence for 2 years.
