Myoepithelioma of the spine: first case in the literature

Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci. 2014;18(1 Suppl):66-71.

Abstract

Myoepithelioma is a very rare tumour. This tumor type has been reported in the soft tissue, ear, sinonasal cavity, breast and lung. Although rare, myoepithelioma can occur in bone. We present the first case of myoepithelioma in the spine, documenting the clinical, radiographic and pathological features.
