Preliminary diagnostic criteria for distinguishing metaplastic Warthin tumors from mucoepidermoid carcinomas rich in lymphoid stroma
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2026AO1591
Highlights ■ Immunohistochemistry distinguishes Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma from metaplastic Warthin tumor. ■ CK7, mitochondrial patterns, and double-layer epithelium suggest metaplastic Warthin tumor. ■ Basal CK14, CK5/6, and p63 distinguish metaplastic Warthin tumor from Warthin-like mucoepidermoid carcinoma. ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to analyze the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical profiles of unconventional Warthin tumors and mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Methods: Eleven low-grade salivary gland tumors with Warthin-like features were analyzed. Group A (n=6) showed a double-layered oncocytic epithelium in less than 50% of the […]

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma in minor salivary gland
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2022RC5724
ABSTRACT Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma is a rare neoplasm usually confused with other neoplasms in the salivary glands region. It has great similarity with the breast carcinoma. We report a case of a patient who presented with gingival submucosal bleeding and lesion, with the initial histopathological examination revealing salivary gland neoplasm of low crane. Computed tomography revealed the lesion near the tooth 27, with extension to the floor of the left maxillary sinus and to the palate mucosa. Resection of […]
