Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland, abbreviated CAMSG, is a rare malignancy of the salivary gland, typically of the tongue.

It is also known as cribriform adenocarcioma of the tongue, abbreviated CAT.

General

  • Rare.
  • Typically tongue - first described there.[1]
  • Good prognosis[2] - on limited data.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Typically covered by an intact squamous epithelium.[2]
  • Growth patterns - cribriform and solid.
  • Cytology similar to papillary thyroid carcinoma.[2]
    • Irregular (raisin-like) nuclear membranes.
    • Nuclear overlap.
