Dr. Lija Sherin G, Dr Prabha Raj R L, Dr. Apuca Susan Mathew, Dr. Thara Somanath
Abstract: Myoepithelial carcinoma of soft tissue is an uncommon malignant tumour. Development of this tumour is considered to be of uncertain differentiation and histogenesis (1). Myoepithelial carcinoma arising from salivary gland is a well known entity, but that in the soft tissue is less reported. We report a case of myoepithelial carcinoma in a 50 year old male, presented with a subcutaneous swelling in left forearm. Microscopically, diagnosed by the lobular growth pattern with cells having eosinophilic and clear cytoplasm with vesicular nuclei, mitotic figures and areas of necrosis. Stroma was hyalinized and myxoid. IHC panel aided in the final diagnosis.
