Myoepithelial carcinomas are rare tumors, making up only 1% of salivary gland neoplasms. They can form either independently or within an existing pleomorphic adenoma. We encountered a case concerning a 46-year-old woman who approached us with a previous occurrence of a solid mass in the hard palate that had been steadily increasing in size. Based on the results of the biopsy, it has been determined that the mass is an Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma of Minor Salivary Gland. The extension assessment revealed the existence of lung metastases. Chemotherapy was administered, resulting in stabilization of the process and the lung metastasis.
