Abstract
Epithelio-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMEC) is a very rare malignancy of the salivary gland which comprises less than 1 % of salivary gland tumors. In the parapharyngeal space they can either arise from the deep lobe of parotid gland or de novo from minor salivary glands. We present a case of epithelio-myoepithelial carcinoma of parapharyngeal and masseteric space. The case is important for its rarity of presentation and we discuss the surgical difficulties and morbidities.Entities:
