Clinical dielema-epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma- rare presentation

Objective: To describe our experience with a case of epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma that was reported as two different entities and thus proved to be a challenging case.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of histo-pathological reports with detailed work up of final findings and treatment.
Results: Four year follow up of the patient shows successful treatment with no recurrence.
Conclusion: High index of suspicion and detailed histo-pathological evaluation with IHC testing is needed in tumours presenting with mixed cell population.
