β¦ Synopsis
Large numbers of round and dendritic cells similar to Langerhans' cells of normal epidermis and other epithelia were seen within a pleomorphic adenoma of the submandibular salivary gland. These cells, which were present only in areas of non-cornifying epidermoid metaplasia, exhibited Birbeck granules with isolated terminal vesicles, cytoplasmic microfilaments, microtubules, and a few poorly developed intercellular junctions.

## Abstract Genomeβwide microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling of salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas revealed a distinct expression signature consisting largely of upregulated miRNAs compared with matched normal tissue. Microarray data were confirmed by quantitative real time RTβPCR (qβRTPCR). Five
Twenty pleomorphic adenomas of human salivary glands were studied by means of specific immunohistochemical methods. Material reacting with antihuman saliva antiserum has been detected in epithelial structures of all pleomorphic adenomas. The myxoid stroma was immunohistochemically negative. Both PAS
