Background. Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary gland shows a variable clinical course. It would be helpful to discover reliable biologic markers in the management of patients with ACC. Methods. We examined proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and c-erbB-2 oncoprotein expression on
R ecent studies in the surgical pathology literature have revealed that overexpression of the tyrosine kinase receptor protein c-kit (CD117) occurs in adenoid cystic carcinoma, suggesting that c-kit may be useful as an ancillary marker for this tumor. This marker would be particularly useful in sma
