Salivary Gland Tumor “Wishes” to Add to the Next WHO Tumor Classification: Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis, Mammary Analogue Secretory Carcinoma, Cribriform Adenocarcinoma of the Tongue and Other Sites, and Mucinous Variant of Myoepithelioma

Abstract

This review is a continuation of suggested tumor additions to the next WHO Tumor Classification. The author will focus on four salivary gland entities that have recently become accepted in the literature as new neoplastic entities: sclerosing polycystic adenosis, mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, cribriform adenocarcinoma of the tongue and other sites, and mucinous variant of myoepithelioma.
