Myoepitheliomas are very rare salivary gland neoplasms seen mainly in the major salivary glands (~40%) followed by minor salivary glands (~21%). Palatal myoepitheliomas are rare, with clear cell types being even rarer. Due to the rarity of this tumor, it lacks specific features that are diagnostic in cytology.

Soft tissue myoepithelial tumors (METs) are diagnostically challenging tumors that require careful histologic and immunohistochemical characterization for accurate classification. Nearly half of METs show recurrent EWSR1 or FUS gene rearrangements with a diverse set of fusion partners. The diversity of fusion partners and lack of known driver abnormalities in many cases raises the question of whether METs represent a uniformly distinct tumor entity.

Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is a rare variant of breast neoplasm. It is a biphasic tumour characterized by small epithelial-lined spaces with inner luminal cells and outer of abluminal (myoepithelial) cells. Either - or both - of these two cells may rarely undergo malignant transformation.

Myoepitheliomal tumours, associated with the salivary glands and certain soft tissue sites, are unusually encountered in the central nervous system (CNS). In the brain, although the most common location is the Sella, other areas can infrequently be involved. Such intracranial lesions are exceptionally rare in children.
