  • Title: Plasmacytoid variant of myoepithelioma of palate: a case report.
    Author: Kusuma V, Hemalata M, Rangaswamy R.
    Journal: Indian J Pathol Microbiol; 2004 Apr; 47(2):236-7. PubMed ID: 16295482.
    Abstract:
    Myoepitheliomas of intraoral minor salivary glands are rare and are usually of plasmacytoid type. Myoepitheliomas are considered difficult to diagnose without the aid of ultrastructural and histochemical studies. Here we present a case report of plasmacytoid type of myoepithelioma of palate that was diagnosed by light microscopic examination alone. Considering the non-specificity of ultrastructural and histochemical findings, it is important to pay attention to typical features of plasmacytoid myoepitheliomas to arrive at a diagnosis.
