ABSTRACT

Malignant Myoepitheliomas are low-grade malignant salivary gland tumors with an inci-dence of less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. The tumor occurrs predominantly in the parotid gland but can also be seen in the where minor salivary glands are present. Very rarely malign myoepitheliomas can arise from pleomorphic adenomas. We present a ca-se report with plasmacytoid malignant myoepithelioma arising from pleomorphic adeno-ma of the soft palate.
