Epithelial Myoepithelial Carcinoma

Introduction Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the nasal cavity is a rare tumor, and here we describe the first case of EMC of the nasal cavity presenting with epiphora. A case presentation and review of the literature is provided. Methods A case report is described of a 63-year-old man who presented with unilateral epiphora and was found via a thorough history and physical examination to have a nasal tumor. The physical examination consisted of an ocular examination, including probing and irrigation, and a detailed nasal examination (anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy). The nasal examination was prompted by the patient's report of concurrent nasal symptoms during history taking. Immunohistochemistry subsequently identified the nasal tumor as EMC. A literature search was performed to gain insights into similar malignancies of the nasal cavity. Results Eight cases of EMC of the nasal cavity were identified in the literature, none of the patients presented with epiphora. The case presented here resulted in resolution of the patient's symptoms and no evidence of disease after surgical excision. Conclusion Epithelial myoepithelial is a rare salivary gland malignancy that can arise in the nasal cavity. Unilateral epiphora with concurrent nasal symptoms should prompt nasal cavity examination for the possibility of an obstructive tumor.

Clear Cell Variant

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare biphasic low-grade malignancy accounting for only 0.5% of all salivary gland tumors. Commonly, EMC affects parotid gland (70%) and rarely affecting other salivary glands. Clearing of both, epithelial and myoepithelial cell types, is rare and gives an impression of a monocellular neoplasm. Case report: A 42-year-old male reported to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department in Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Misr International University with a painless growth in the floor of mouth since 5 years. The soft tissue window of computerized tomography (CT) revealed a well-circumscribed swelling in the sublingual space. The provisional diagnosis was pleomorphic adenoma. Results: The histopathological examination showed solid sheets of rounded to polyhedral clear cells forming lobes and lobules separated by connective tissue mucoid septa. A thin fibrous capsule, invaded with some tumor cells was also present. The presented pattern of clear cells together with the encapsulation of the tumor provides an impression of clear cell variant of monocellular neoplasm. Conclusion: The presented case relates to an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma originating from the sublingual salivary gland, which is a rare site for this lesion. Based on immunohistochemical staining, differentiation between the double clear cell types was confirmed using S-100 protein and SMA for the myoepithelial nature of the outer cells while the epithelial nature of the inner cells was confirmed by CK-19 and EMA. Thus, the diagnosis of double clear cell variant of EMC was given.
