Abstract:
Malignant myoepitheliomas are rare tumors of salivary glands. Most occur in the parotid gland; few other sites of origin are described. Malignant myoepithelioma of the rhinopharynx has only been reported twice. Because the lesion is so rare, there are no specific indications for its treatment. We present a third case of malignant myoepithelioma in the rhinopharynx and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
