Canalicular adenoma
Diagnosis in short

Canalicular adenoma. H&E stain. (WC)

LM

cords of tumour ("canals") with beading (characteristic), cystic spaces/tubules,

intraluminal squamous balls (common)
Site salivary gland - usually upper lip or buccal mucosa

Signs mass lesion
Prevalence very rare

Canalicular adenoma is a rare salivary gland tumour.

General

  • Exclusively oral cavity.

Clinical:

  • Mass lesion.[1]

Gross

  • Classically upper lip - may be buccal mucosa or palate.

Note:

  • In one large series of 67 cases:[1]
    • Upper lip 69% (47/67).
    • Buccal mucosa 25% (17/67).
    • Palate 6% (4/67).

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Cords of tumour ("canals") with beading - characteristic.
  • Cystic spaces/tubules.
  • Intraluminal squamous balls - common (~60% of cases).
  • Myxoid/bluish stroma.
