Abstract

Bu olgu sunumunda parotis bezinin benign myoepitelyomunun klinik ve histopatolojik özellikleri tanımlanmaktadır. Yetmiş yaşındaki bayan hasta tek taraflı, tedricen büyüyen preauriküler şişlik semptomları ile başvurmuştur. Muayenede sol parotis bezinde 7x5 cm boyutlarında tumor tespit edilmiştir. Eksize edilerek patoloji bölümüne gönderilen tümör myoepitelioma tanısı almıştır. Myoepitelyomalar tükrük bezi tümörlerinin yaklaşık %1 ‘ini oluşturan nadir tümörlerdir. Histopatolojik özellikleri, immunohistokimyasal bulguları ve klinik davranışları iyi karakterize edilmemiştir. Literatür eşliğinde bu lezyonların histopatolojik özellikleri ve ayırıcı tanısı sunulmuştur

Myoepithelioma of the Parotid Gland: A Rare Case

Abstract

The present case describes the clinical and histopathologic features of a benign myoepithelioma of the parotid gland. A 70-year-old woman presented with clinical symptoms of a unilateral, gradually developing, preauricular swelling. Examination revealed a 7x5 cm tumor in the area of the left parotid gland. The tumor was removed and sent to the pathology department. A diagnosis of myoepithelioma was established. Myoepitheliomas of salivary glands are extremely rare, comprising approximately only 1% of all salivary gland tumours.Their histopathologic features, immunohistochemical findings, and clinical behavior are not well characterized. Together with the literature, consideration are presented on the histopathologic evaluation, differential diagnosis of these lesions
