  • Title: Myoepithelioma possibly originating from the accessory parotid gland.
    Author: Isogai R, Kawada A, Ueno K, Aragane Y, Tezuka T.
    Journal: Dermatology; 2004; 208(1):74-8. PubMed ID: 14730243.
    Abstract:
    Myoepithelioma originates almost exclusively from myoepithelial cells of the salivary, prostate and mammary glands. The skin is a very rare site where myoepithelioma occurs. We describe a patient with a myoepithelioma on the right cheek seen as a subcutaneous nodule that was separated from the parotid gland at surgical resection. Histopathological findings were consistent with those of a myoepithelioma that had originated from the parotid gland, suggesting that this tumor may have developed from the accessory parotid gland.
