Abstract
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a biphasic low-grade malignant tumor, which represents approximately 1% of all salivarygland tumors. This tumor occurs mostly in the parotid gland, followed by submandibular gland and minor salivary glands.Women, mostly fifth to the eighth decade of life, are commonly affected. Histopathologically, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomais composed of an inner single layer of eosinophilic cuboidal ductal cells and outer single or multiple layers of clear myoepithelial cells. We present a case of a 69 years old man who had a scar on lower the lip for 10 years and voice annoyance for threemonths. The biopsy for lower lip was reported “infiltrative clear cell epithelioid neoplasm” and vocal cord biopsy result was“verrucous carcinoma”. After cordectomy and wedge resection of the lower lip, histopathology revealed Epithelial-MyoepithelialCarcinoma for the lower lip and microinvasive verrucous carcinoma for the left vocal cord. Our case has a very uncommonlocation and presentation for EMC. The tumor location was minor salivary glands of the lower lip and the clinical presentationwas quite different. Coexistence with microinvasive verrucous carcinoma of the vocal cord is the other unique part of our case.
