Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment methods for myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasopharynx. Methods The clinical data of one case of myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasopharynx was retrospectively analyzed. Also, with a literature review, the clinical features and treatment methods were analyzed. Results Myoepithelial carcinoma is an extremely rare, malignant epithelial tumor, which usually occurs in the parotid region. Very few cases of myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasopharynx were reported. The preferred treatment is surgery with or without radiotherapy. Conclusion Early treatment by surgery for total resection of myoepithelial carcinoma in the nasopharynx with radiotherapy in necessary can take a good result.
