AI Article Synopsis

  • * The patient underwent imaging and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), which suggested various possible tumors before surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis of secretory carcinoma (SC).
  • * The case emphasizes the importance of recognizing the unique cytological and histological characteristics of SC to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment by pathologists.

Article Abstract

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a rare salivary gland tumor which shares its histologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features with the secretory carcinoma (SC) of breast. In this case report, we describe a case of MASC in a young adolescent male with swelling in the right angle of mandible which is a relatively rare site to present along with its correlation of cytological, histological, and immunohistochemical features. A 16-year-old male came with the complaint of swelling in the right angle of mandible since 2 years. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) neck revealed differential diagnosis of nerve sheath tumor, pleomorphic adenoma, and adenoid cystic neoplasm was kept, and subsequently fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was done. FNAC was done in which differential diagnosis of myoepithelial neoplasm, acinic cell carcinoma, and SC was given. Surgical excision was done followed by histopathological examination. Immunohistochemistry panel was also applied, and final diagnosis of SC was rendered. SC has distinct cytological, histological, and immunohistochemical features which should be recognized by the pathologists for the appropriate management of the patient.
