Secretory carcinoma of the salivary gland
Diagnosis in short

LM large cells with abundant cytoplasm, small nuclei, +/-lymphocytic infiltrate, solid and microcystic growth pattern
LM DDx acinic cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Stains PAS +ve
IHC S-100 +ve, mammomglobin +ve, vimentin +ve

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, abbreviated MASC, is a newly described malignant salivary gland tumour.[1]

General

  • Microscopic appearance similar to secretory breast carcinoma.[2]
  • Super rare - 21 cases in the world literature as of 2012.[1]
  • Original paper described it only in adults.[2]
    • Has been described in a pediatric patient.[3]

Gross

Microscopic

Features:

  • Large cells with abundant cytoplasm.
  • Small nuclei.
  • +/-Lymphocytic infiltrate.
  • Solid and microcystic growth pattern.

DDx:

Stains

Features:[2]

IHC

Features:[2]

  • S-100 +ve.[1]
  • Mammomglobin +ve.
  • Vimentin +ve.

Molecular

  • t(12;15)(p13;q25).
    • Fusion of the genes ETV6 and NTRK3.[1]
