## Abstract Cytogenetic findings of 21 benign salivary gland tumors, including 14 pleomorphic adenomas, 5 Warthin's tumors, 1 myoepithelioma, and 1 cystadenoma, are reported. The present study confirms that pleomorphic adenomas characteristically have highly specific rearrangements involving only a
## BACKGROUND. Malignant myoepithelioma (MME) of the salivary gland, also known as myoepithelial carcinoma, is rare and its biologic behavior has not been clarified fully. ## METHODS. Ten cases of MME were analyzed for their clinicopathologic features and immunohistochemical characteristics, focu
A 53 year-old female was referred to Geisinger Medical Center for evaluation of a large tongue base tumor. Surgical excision of the mass was performed, and was consistent with a low grade salivary gland tumor, likely a myoepithelial neoplasm. Minor salivary gland neoplasms are rare, and those arisi
