This case report presents a male patient who had a lesion in the oral mucosa with a history of recurrence of the tumor. The outcome resulted in a profile consistent with an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma with a high degree of transformation. The case highlights the importance of histopathological evaluation of oral lesions, which occasionally may not present typical clinical aspects of malignant lesion. 7 13 2012 111 117 TODENTJ-6-111 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2012-5-2 2012-6-6 2012-6-7 2012-7-13 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601206010111 1553505358 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/6/PAGE/111/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V6/TODENTJ-6-111/TODENTJ-6-111.xml Am J Otolaryngol Kumai Y 27 58 2006 Kumai Y, Ogata N, Yumoto E.
