Various tissues such as the salivary glands, breast, larynx, and sweat glands show the presence of these myoepithelial cells. They occur, principally, in the parotid gland and infrequently in minor salivary glands. The term \u201cMyoepitheliomas\u201d was first coined by Sheldon in 1943. It is an uncommon salivary gland tumor which accounts for &lt; 1% of all major and minor salivary gland tumors. Batasakis considers the ME to be \u201cone-sided\u201d variant at the opposite end of the spectrum from the pleomorphic adenoma. There are distinct histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor which aid in the diagnosis. ME of the palate is uncommon, and only a limited number of cases have been reported in the English literature. It shows a benign clinical course with recurrence in up to 20% of cases without metastasis. The present article sheds light on the presence of ME of minor salivary glands in the palate of 9-year-old child.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njms.njms_16_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,23]],"date-time":"2021-07-23T06:57:33Z","timestamp":1627023453000},"page":"284-288","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Rare case of giant myoepithelioma in minor salivary glands of palate in a 9-year-old child"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Swapna","family":"Patankar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reshmi","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amod","family":"Patankar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Venkatesh","family":"Kulkarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-24-20240908","first-page":"1","article-title":"So-called mixed tumours of the salivary glands","volume":"35","author":"Sheldon","year":"1943","journal-title":"Arch Pathol"},{"key":"R2-24-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-263X.2006.00785.x","article-title":"Plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of the palate in a child","volume":"17","author":"Perez","year":"2007","journal-title":"Int J Paediatr Dent"},{"key":"R3-24-20240908","first-page":"43","article-title":"Myoepithelioma of a minor salivary gland of the cheek: Case report","volume":"26","author":"Ferri","year":"2006","journal-title":"Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital"},{"key":"R4-24-20240908","first-page":"E552","article-title":"Plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of the palate.
