- Abstract
Myoepitheliomas are rare benign tumors that may generally arise from the minor or major salivary glands. It was considered to be a variant of pleomorphic adenoma (PA), but myoepitheliomas are now believed to be relatively aggressive tumors. This tumor should be differentially diagnosed along with several benign and malignant soft tissue neoplasms. This paper presents a case report of plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of the hard palate in a 15-year-old adolescent as an addition to the previously documented cases and review of literature.
