It was previously known as mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, abbreviated MASC.[2]
General
- Microscopic appearance similar to secretory breast carcinoma.[3]
- Rare - 21 cases in the world literature as of 2012.[1]
- Original paper described it only in adults.[3]
- Has been described in a pediatric patient.[4]
Gross
- Usually parotid gland.[3]
- Well-circumscribed.[citation needed]
Microscopic
Features:
- Large cells with abundant cytoplasm.
- Small nuclei.
- +/-Lymphocytic infiltrate.
- Solid and microcystic growth pattern.
- +/-Cystic changes lined by hobnail cells - useful feature.
DDx:
- Acinic cell carcinoma - very closely mimics.
- Abundant basophilic granular cytoplasm.[1]
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Stains
Features:[3]
- PAS stain +ve - secretory material.
- Does not have PAS +ve cytoplasmic granules like AcCC.
- Secretory material also PASD stain +ve.
- Mucicarmine stain +ve.
IHC
Features:[3]
Others:
Panel:
- S-100, mammaglobin, p63, HMWCK.

Molecular
Note:
- The translocation seen in secretory breast carcinoma, congenital-infantile fibrosarcoma and mesoblastic nephroma.
