Updated Salivary Gland Immunohistochemistry: A Review.

Context.—: Salivary gland neoplasms are rare lesions in the head and neck (H&N) pathology realm. There are more than 20 malignant and 15 benign salivary gland neoplasms in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification of H&N tumors.

Immunohistochemical markers for the differential diagnosis of nephrogenic adenomas.

Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign lesion commonly occurring in the urinary bladder that poses challenges to devising a diagnosis. In this study, 21 cases of NAs were studied by performing immunohistochemistry for PAX8, p63, CK903, PSA, S100A1, BerEP4, and CEA on routine tissue sections. PAX8 showed diffuse moderate to strong (2+ and 3+) nuclear staining in all of NAs (n = 6 and 15, respectively) and negative in the normal urothelium (n = 15).

Endobronchial granular cell tumor: a case report.

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are benign neoplasms that are most commonly found in the head and neck region. We present a case of endobronchial granular cell tumor presenting as hemoptysis in a 22-year-old African American female. Patient subsequently underwent a right upper and middle lobectomy, and upon histologic analysis was found to have GCT with borders impinging upon cartilage and adjacent peribronchial lymph nodes.
