Cystic Clear Cell Myoepithelioma of the Parotid Gland: Case Report

Myoepitheliomas are rare but well-characterized group of tumors, among which myoepithelioma of the salivary glands is the best known. In this paper, a cystic clear cell variant of the parotid gland was reported in an 80-year-old male patient presenting with a slow growing mass who was treated surgically with superficial parotidectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of cystic clear cell myoepithelioma ever reported in the parotid gland. The histopathological features, immunohistochemical profile and clinical behavior were discussed.
