Myoepithelioma is a benign neoplasm of salivary glands, which represents 1.5 % of all salivary gland neoplasm. This may arise from the minor or major salivary glands. Histopathologically this is a benign tumour composed almost exclusively of sheets, islands or cords of cells with myoepithelial differentiation that may exhibit spindle, plasmacytoid, epithelioid or clear cytoplasmic features. A middle aged female came with a history of slow growing mass on the left side of her face. Clinical evaluation and radiological assessment showed that the lesion was originating from parotid gland. Total parotidectomy was performed and histopathologically confirmed as an epitheloid variant of myoepithelioma of parotid gland. We are presenting this case because of its rarity and its clinical simulation with various other common salivary gland tumours, with the objective of contributing to better understanding of this tumour.
