Background. Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the salivary gland is a low-grade carcinoma. It has been widely accepted as a clinicopathologic entity only in the past decade. Histologically, the classical bimodal differentiation of inner eosinophilic ductal cells and outer layer of clear my
The objective of this study was to clarify extracellular materials (ECMs) in adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) and compare these to those found in other salivary gland tumors with myoepithelial differentiation. The ECM was examined with Papanicolaou, May-GrΓΌnwald-Giemsa (MGG), and alcian blue stain at
The salivary glands are the site of many neoplasms characterized by a mixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and stromal fragments. Cytologic distinction of these neoplasms may be very dificult but careful attention to cellular details and the interaction between the cells and stronia can cor
