  This presentation describes an epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma (EMEC) of the parotid gland.EMECs are unusual and rare tumors that make up less than 1% of salivary gland neoplasms.They tend to show female predominance, with peak occurrence in the seventh decade.The case is of a 53 year old african american female that presented with facial pain and swelling 1 year ago.Her initial CT showed nodular and enhancing masses involving the majority of the left parotid with scattered calcifications.Follow up FNA was suggestive ofpleomorphic adenoma.She underwent a superficial left parotidectomy with final pathological diagnosis of EMEC.This paper will discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic role of radiation in treatment of EMECs.
