Özet
We describe the clinical and pathologic features of two benign myoepitheliomas of the parotid gland. Through 1985, only 42 other cases had been reported in the literature - 39 benign and three malignant. Fewer than 100 cases had been reported through 1993. Since then, two other reports have been published. But are these tumors really rare, or are they simply not well recognized? It is our opinion that they are not as rare as is generally believed because the number of case reports is increasing as pathologists have become more aware of their existence.
