FIRST PARAGRAPH: Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is an uncommon salivary gland malignancy, representing 1% of all salivary gland tumors. Women are more frequently affected (2:1). The incidence of EMC peaks between the ages of 50 and 60 years, although the age range is broad. The parotid gland is most frequently affected (60%), but both major and minor salivary glands can be involved. Patients typically present with a painless, slowly growing mass; occasionally there is rapid growth, pain, or facial weakness.
