Myoepithelioma- An Uncommon Parotid Tumour in An Adolescent

Myoepitheliomas are uncommon neoplasms of major and minor salivary glands. These tumours are encapsulated and slow growing in nature and are benign in majority of the cases. The mean age of presentation is 40 years and this entity is rarely reported in younger age groups. Here, we seek to report a rare case of a 10-year-old patient who presented with a swelling below the right ear. Clinical and radiological evaluation revealed a mass in the parotid gland. This patient was treated with a superficial parotidectomy and subsequent histopathological examination revealed it to be a myoepithelioma.
