Abstract

Salivary gland myoepitheliomas are rare tumors accounting for less than 1% of neoplasms of the salivary glands. We report a myoepithelioma arising in the palate of an 8-year-old female, the youngest case in the literature. Electron microscopic and immunohistochemical studies support the myoepithelial origin of this tumor.
