Abstract	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.
Keywords	myoepithelial carcinoma, minor salivary gland, lung metastasis.
