Secretory carcinoma of the salivary gland
Diagnosis in short

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma. H&E stain. (WC/NormanDy)

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
Molecular ETV6-NTRK3 fusion gene
Site salivary gland - usually parotid

Prevalence rare
Clin. DDx other salivary gland tumours

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

General

  • Microscopic appearance similar to secretory breast carcinoma.[2]
  • 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.
  • +/-Cystic changes lined by hobnail cells - useful feature.
