Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in minor salivary gland of the hard palate.

We present a case of 53-year-old man with an extremely rare malignant neoplasm, minor salivary gland epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the hard palate. The lesion was detected incidentally by a dentist, and the patient was successfully treated with surgical excision and postoperative irradiation. The patient has remained asymptomatic and free of disease for 4 years after diagnosis.
