• Abstract

  Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) is a malignant epitelial tumor characterized by cytological uniformity, morphological diversity, infiltrative growth pattern and low metastatic potential. Despite our improved understanding of this entity over time, differences found among the studies worldwide indicate that diagnosing PLGA remains challenging, probably because histological and…

• Abstract

  Carcinoma ex-pleomorphic adenoma (CXAP) is a salivary gland tumor resulting from a malignant transformation of pleomorphic adenoma, usually recurrent or of long duration. It accounts for 5 to10% of all salivary gland tumors. It is considered a high grade tumor with frequent metastasis and death. Since it is a rare malignant transformation of a benign tumor, the CXAP is an interesting mode…

• Abstract

  Several studies have demonstrated the role of myoepithelial cells in the behavior of salivary glands and breast tumors. In salivary glands tumors, these cells are associated with better prognosis of these tumors, and in breast cancer, their function is related, mainly, with the progression of an in situ to invasive carcinoma. These studies revealed the tumor suppressor role of these cells…
