The tongue was the most frequent site. Tumours displayed biphasic epithelial\u2013myoepithelial differentiation, dense sclerosis, and frequent perineural invasion. CK7, EMA, p63, S100 and SMA were commonly positive; CD117 was negative. Surgical excision, with or without neck dissection or radiotherapy, achieved disease-free status in all patients with follow-up (4 months\u20135 years).
