Resumo: A 30-year-old female presented to the hospital with an extensive tumoral lesion on the palate, with evolution of 20 years, causing dysphagia and difficulty in speaking. Incisional biopsy revealed a fragment of non-encapsulated neoplasm with proliferation of myoepithelial cells, forming cellular cords. The cells had large and eosinophilic cytoplasm and rounded nuclei displaced to the periphery, configuring a plasmacytoid morphology. The stroma of the lesion was composed of fibrous connective tissue, sometimes with a myxomatous appearance. The diagnosis was compatible with myoepithelioma. She was submitted to surgery under general anesthesia for conservative surgical enucleation of the lesion. To cover the raw area, a double-layer acellular dermal matrix was used, composed of bovine collagen internally and silicone externally, which was removed 3 weeks after surgery. After removal, a granulation tissue was observed, later giving way to the epithelial tissue of the palate. The patient is on regular follow-up with no abnormalities.
