    Notes: Aims : To characterize the cellular component in pleomorphic adenoma (PA) that undergoes malignant transformation in carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA).Methods and results : A panel of antibodies against cytoskeletal proteins was applied in 16 cases of CXPA: intracapsular carcinoma (five cases), minimally invasive (four cases) and frankly invasive (seven cases). The CXPAs were classified into two main groups according to their predominant cellular component as detected by the panel of antibodies: (i) carcinomas with only epithelial differentiation (75% of the cases), and (ii) carcinomas with a myoepithelial component (25%). CXPA with only epithelial differentiation showed two types of malignant areas in the part of the tumour that was confined by the PA capsule: (i) intraductal carcinoma areas characterized by ductal structures containing both benign myoepithelial cells positive for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), vimentin and cytokeratin (CK)14 and proliferating atypical luminal cells reactive for CK7, CK8 and CK19, and (ii) carcinoma areas composed only of epithelial cells reactive for CK7, CK8 and CK19. In the latter, the cells presented morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics similar to those found in areas of invasive carcinoma outside the PA capsule. CXPAs with a myoepithelial component were composed mainly or exclusively of cells that expressed vimentin and α-SMA. In this group, ductal structures reminiscent of PA filled by malignant cells were not identified.Conclusion : Most CXPAs consist only of epithelial cells that have an immunoprofile comparable to ductal luminal cells of PA. These malignant luminal cells arise in the duct-like structures as intraductal carcinoma and probably only at this early stage of development should the lesion be considered as a non-invasive carcinoma.

    Salivary duct carcinoma: cytokeratin 14 as a marker of in-situ intraductal growth (2002)

    Notes: Aims:  The aim of this study was to determine the immunoprofile of salivary duct carcinoma and to differentiate intraductal growth from invasive growth.Methods and results:  We applied a panel of antibodies (cytokeratins 7, 8, 13, 14, 19, vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin) in five cases of salivary duct carcinoma. This panel is currently used for identification of different components of salivary gland tumours in our laboratory. All tumour cells were positive for cytokeratins 7 and 8. Few neoplastic structures expressed cytokeratin 14 in cells surrounding tumour islands.Conclusion:  The finding of cytokeratin 14 was important to confirm the in-situ intraductal growth, which probably characterizes this low-grade neoplasm.

    Salivary gland tumours: immunoexpression of integrins β1, β3 and β4 (2003)

    Notes: Background:  Integrins, heterodimeric transmembranic adhesion molecules composed of α and β subunits, have been implicated in normal and neoplastic biological processes. We investigated the patterns of expression of integrins subunits β1, β3 and β4 in neoplasms derived from the terminal segment of salivary glands in order to understand their expression patterns in the different structures of these tumours.Methods:  Immunohistochemistry using ‘catalized signal amplification’ (CSA) detection system was applied to paraffin-embedded specimens of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and acinic cell carcinoma. Normal salivary glands were used as controls.Results:  Immunoexpression of integrins showed that neoplastic structures of the tumours studied tend to mimic the patterns seen in the normal structures of salivary glands from which they are derived. Anaplastic cells were negative for all integrins.Conclusions:  This study revealed detailed topography of integrins in malignant tumours derived from intercalated acinar segment of salivary gland and this might be useful in the diagnosis of these lesions, especially of fine-needle aspiration (FNA) products or small specimens derived form incisional biopsies.

    Notes: Summary A histological and subcellular study of a mucus-producing adenopapillary carcinoma of a minor salivary gland is presented. The tumor was located on the buccal mucosa of a 36-year-old white man. Microscopic examination showed that the tumor was an invasive papillary growth with numerous signet-ring cells and mucous production. When viewed under the electron microscope, the tumor exhibited clusters of cells showing intracellular lumina and finely dispersed chromatin.

    Vimentin as a marker of myoepithelial cells in salivary gland tumors (1990)

    Notes: Summary Thirty-six salivary gland tumors from the Surgical Oral Pathology Service of the University of São Paulo, School of Dentistry, have been examined by immunostaining, using commercially available antibody to vimentin. The samples analyzed included tumors in which the participation of myoepithelial cells as a tumoral component has been postulated, i.e., pleomorphic adenoma, myoepithelioma, epithelial-myoepithelial adenoma, monomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, and polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma. Our results strongly support the view that vimentin is one of the earliest indicators of neoplastic myoepithelial differentiation.

    Notes: Summary The relationship between the histological grading of malignancy and the expression of vimentin and cytokeratin was studied in 43 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis was carried out with the avidin-biotin method using monoclonal antibody anti-vimentin, and the peroxidase anti-peroxidase method using the polyclonal antibody anti-cytokeratin. All cases were classified according to the histological malignancy grading system proposed by Anneroth. All of the carcinomas were found to express cytokeratin, while 60.4% expressed vimentin. Vimentin was particularly noted in all tumors scored to have highly malignant cells.

    Notes: Summary Nine cases of adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) and three cases of polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas (PLGA) of the salivary glands from the Surgical Oral Pathology Service of the University of Sao Paulo School of Dentistry were examined by menas of the silver-staining nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) technique. Quantitative and dimensional analyses of NORs were carried out. Our findings suggest that solid and cribriform patterns of ACC have a higher cellular activity than that presented by tubular ACC and PLGA.
