Very little material on this topic has been published. This tumour represents a therapeutic challenge since there are no specific recommendations or guidelines. We present a case of malignant myoepithelioma arising de novo in the parotid gland. We discuss our therapeutic approach and considerations on appropriate post-surgical treatment. Then we provide a review of international literature on this interesting and rare oncological entity. %K Malignant Myoepithelioma %K Parotid %K Radiotherapy %K Rare Neoplasms %K Review %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=16821
