Plasmacytoid myoepithelioma of minor salivary glands: report of case with emphasis in the immunohistochemical findings

Myoepithelioma is a rare benign tumor of the salivary glands and is usually seen in the parotid gland and the minor salivary glands. It was once considered to be a type of pleomorphic adenoma (PA), but myoepitheliomas are today believed to be relatively aggressive tumors.

Low-grade cribriform cystadenocarcinoma of salivary glands: report of two cases and review of the literature

UNLABELLED Low-grade cribriform cystadenocarcinoma (LGCCC) is a recently described rare tumor of salivary gland which exhibits clinically indolent behavior. This tumor predominantly consists of intraductal components and frequently exhibits papillary-cystic or cribriform proliferation pattern. Considering the histological features of LGCCC, it should be distinguished with papillocystic variant ...

Papillary Cystadenoma of Minor Salivary Glands: Report of 11 Cases and Review of the English Literature.

Papillary cystadenoma is a rare, benign salivary gland tumor which is well-circumscribed, containing cystic cavities with intraluminal papillary projections. Only 19 cases arising within minor salivary glands (MnSG) from the oral cavity sites have been reported in the English literature (PubMed 1958-2014). We report 11 new cases of MnSG papillary cystadenomas in conjunction with a review of the...

Myoepithelioma of minor salivary gland--an immunohistochemical analysis of four cases.

INTRODUCTION AND METHODS We performed an immunohistochemical study in four cases of myopitheliomas with objective to realize a profile in respect of differentiation grade by the monoclonal antibodies CK14, vimentin and alph-SMA, besides to investigate the cell proliferation by anti-PCNA, besides, we compare the immunoreactive with glandular normal tissue. RESULTS In the glandular normal tissu...
