Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland, abbreviated CAMSG, is a rare malignancy of the salivary gland, typically of the tongue.[1]
It is also known as cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue, abbreviated CAT.
The World Health Organization lumps this tumour with polymorphous adenocarcinoma, a decision that is considered "controversial".[2]
General
- Rare - small case series and case reports.
- Typically tongue - first described there.[3]
- Good prognosis[1] - on limited data.
Microscopic
Features:
- Typically covered by an intact squamous epithelium.[1]
- Growth patterns - cribriform and solid.
- Cytology similar to papillary thyroid carcinoma.[1]
- Irregular nuclear membranes (raisin-like nuclei).
- Nuclear overlap.
DDx:
- Polymorphous adenocarcinoma (previously polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma) - morphology more varied.
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma.
