Abstract
The authors reported two cases of epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma or clear cell adenocarcinoma of salivary intercalated duct with medical literature review. This rare tumor discovered in adults and old patients is frequently localized in parotid gland. Histologically it is composed of two types of cells: epithelial cylindrical cells bordering ductal lumen, clear myoepithelial cells rich in glycogen. This tumor is particular for its local recurrencies but is capable of metastasizing. Its prognosis is uncertain and its treatment is not yet codified.Entities:
