AI Article Synopsis
- Myoepithelial carcinomas are uncommon tumors primarily found in salivary glands, especially the parotid gland, with rare occurrences in the nasopharynx.
- There are limited reports on myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasopharynx, which means there are no established treatment guidelines for it.
- The text presents a unique case of nasopharyngeal myoepithelial carcinoma and explores its diagnosis and potential treatment options.
Article Abstract
Myoepithelial carcinomas are rare tumors of salivary glands. Most occur in the parotid gland buta few other sites of origin have also been described. Myoepithelial carcinoma of the nasopharynx has only been reported very few times. Because the lesion is so rare in the nasopharynx, there are no specific guidelines for its treatment. We present a rare case of myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasopharynx and discuss its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Tall cell carcinoma with reversed polarity (TCCRP) is a rare neoplasm of the breast composed of columnar tumor cells arranged in solid and solid papillary nests with evidence of apical nuclear polarity. No frank invasion is evident despite the lack of a myoepithelial cell layer throughout the tumor. TCCRP has a triple negative or hormone receptor-low immunophenotype.
