Myoepithelioma is a rare neoplasm of the salivary glands, generally occurring in the parotid gland and less often in the mi-nor accessory salivary glands of the oral cavity. It is known to be a rare entity occurring at unusual locations, which makes it difficult to diagnose. Such a rare case of myoepithelioma in salivary glands present at an unusual location around the left orbit is presented here.
