Introduction: Salivary gland tumors are rare head and neck lesions. The majority are benign, with only 20% of cases malignant. Anepithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare low-grade malignant salivary and lacrimal gland tumor, which accounts for less than1% of salivary gland tumors. It mostly involves the parotid gland and affects adults in their sixth and seventh decades. It is usuallypainless, unless the minor salivary glands are affected.Case Presentation: We describe a rare case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with a 1-year-old unilateral painful parotidswelling in December 2014.Conclusions: Acomplete immunohistochemical study should be considered in cases of malignant salivary gland tumors. Toreducethe recurrence rate of these tumors, the optimum therapies are radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
