Hybrid carcinoma of the parotid gland: ductal carcinoma and myoepithelial carcinoma.

Hybrid carcinomas are rare neoplasms which are characterized by two different types of tumors localized in a single topographic region of the lesion. Parotid gland is the most common involvement site of hybrid carcinomas among salivary glands. The aggressiveness of the hybrid tumor depends on its high-grade component. In this article, we present a 71-year-old male case with the left parotid gland hybrid carcinoma consisting of salivary duct carcinoma and myoepithelial carcinoma.
