Although sialoblastoma (SBL) is defined as a low-grade malignant salivary gland anlage neoplasm in the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumors, its histology, genetics, and behavior remain controversial due to the rarity of the tumor. Here, we performed the first comprehensive clinical, histologic, and molecular analyses of 8 SBLs to better understand their pathogenesis and prognosis. This cohort consisted of 5 boys and 3 girls, with ages ranging from birth to 9 years at diagnosis.

Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) is a rare variant of breast neoplasm. It is a biphasic tumour characterized by small epithelial-lined spaces with inner luminal cells and outer of abluminal (myoepithelial) cells. Either - or both - of these two cells may rarely undergo malignant transformation.

Objective: The clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary gland (EMC-SG) have not been defined well due to its rarity. The purpose of this study is to assess the proportion of EMC-SG among salivary gland cancers, describe the clinicopathological features and prognosis of this disease, further analyze the factors associated with EMC-SG survival, and establish individual survival-predicting models.

Methods: Data on patients diagnosed with salivary gland malignancy between 2000 and 2020 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.

Malignant Salivary Gland Neoplasm of the Tongue Base with EWSR1::BEND2 Fusion: An Unusual Case with Literature Review.

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Translational Medicine in Lung Cancer, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, 106 Zhongshan 2nd Road, Guangzhou, 510080, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study discusses challenges in classifying salivary gland malignancies due to their similar features, highlighting the usefulness of molecular phenotyping, particularly through next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • A case of a young female with a salivary gland tumor at the tongue base was presented, revealing an EWSR1::BEND2 gene fusion through RNA-based NGS, which is a rare finding in this type of cancer.
  • The findings suggest that the EWSR1::BEND2 fusion may play a significant role in the development of salivary gland tumors, indicating that RNA-based NGS is crucial for accurate diagnosis and understanding of this rare malignancy.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare low-grade malignant tumor with uncommon regional lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. The diagnosis of this disease primarily relies on the examination of pathological morphology and immunohistochemical staining, as its clinical symptoms and imaging findings are non-specific. This makes it more difficult to provide specific information about EMC lung metastasis.
