Objective: This study presents 2 cases of labial mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC) including diagnostic criteria and a review of literature. MASC has not been previously described in the dental literature.
Design: Two cases of MASC and 1 case of acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the lips were reviewed for their microscopic and immunohistochemical features.
Purpose: Minor salivary gland tumors (MSGTs) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with great histomorphologic variation. This study reviews a large series of benign and malignant salivary gland tumors of the oral region and determines the incidence and the correlation of the histopathologic features with the clinical characteristics.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred thirteen cases of MSGT were retrospectively studied.
