Shared Features between Benign and Low-Grade
Malignant Salivary Gland Neoplasms
• Growth patterns:
– ALL salivary gland neoplasms are polymorphic
• Cytomorphology:
– Isomorphic cell type(s) lacking significant nuclear
pleomorphism, increased mitotic activity
• Dual cell composition:
– Many neoplasms composed of epithelial &
myoepithelial cells:
• Light microscopy
• IHC: cytokeratins, myoepithelial-related markers
(p63, p40, calponin, S100 protein, others)
Intraoral Minor Salivary Gland BX
“Low-Grade” Neoplasms
• In limited sampling especially those
without surrounding tissue to evaluated
for invasion, differentiation often cannot
be achieved as these neoplasms share
overlapping:
– Growth patterns
– Cytomorphology
– Cell composition
– Immunohistochemical reactivity
• 35 year old female presented with a palate mass at
the junction of the hard and soft palate with
associated tingling sensation but no pain. The mass
measuring approximately 2.5cm in greatest
dimension appeared as a bulge with intact overlying
epithelium. The mass was biopsied.

Salivary Gland Neoplasms
FNAB &/or Biopsy
• Excellent and efficient first line diagnostic
modality in guiding management of salivary
gland lesions/neoplasms
• Differentiate nonneoplastic from neoplastic
salivary gland lesions
• Diagnose benign neoplasms (pleomorphic
adenoma, Warthin tumor, others)
• Differentiate low- and high-grade carcinomas
Low- & Intermediate-Grade
Salivary Gland Carcinomas
Treatment
• Wide local excision:
– Tumor free-margins
– Same treatment for benign salivary gland
neoplasms
• Neck Dissection:
– Not indicated unless there is clinical evidence of neck disease
• Postoperative Radiation
- Not indicated
- Exception for adenoid cystic carcinoma
High-Grade Salivary Gland Carcinomas
Treatment
• Radical extirpation:
– Wide block surgical excision:
•May include facial nerve
•Tumor free margins
• Neck Dissection:
– Indicated even in cN0 neck
• Postoperative Radiation
– Indicated
![Page 11: Salivary Gland Neoplasms Napa Valley Pathology Conference ...€¦ · Salivary Gland Neoplasms Napa Valley Pathology Conference Silverado Resort & Spa May 18, 2018 Bruce M. Wenig,](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041103/5f02b5b17e708231d4059f2f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

“Low-Grade” Salivary Gland Neoplasms
FNAB &/or Biopsy
• Limitations of tissue may preclude a definitive
diagnosis
• Presence of invasion diagnostic for carcinoma
but may not allow for a specific diagnosis
• Absence of invasion does not exclude a
diagnosis of carcinoma as evidence of invasion
may be present in aspects of the neoplasm not
sampled
• Use of “low-grade” likely engenders diagnosis
of malignancy
Diagnostic Terminology
• Minor salivary gland neoplasm, not
further specified
• Recommendation:
– Additional sampling
– Conservative but complete excision to
include tumor free margins
– Following complete excision a
definitive diagnosis can be rendered

Prognostic Factors
• Origin in major glands
• Recurrent or metastatic disease
• Invasiveness:
– invasion beyond 4-6mm - less prognostically favorable
– invasion <4-6mm - prognostically favorable

presence of nodal metastasis

Immunohistochemistry
• Cytokeratins, EMA, S-100 protein, vimentin positive
• variable CEA and MSA
• p63 and p40:
– variable p63 reactivity but usually at least focally
present
– p40 negative

cells (calponin, SMA, SMMS1)

Differential Diagnosis
• Adenoid cystic carcinoma
• Pleomorphic adenoma
• Monomorphic adenomas
• Cribriform adenocarcinoma of minor
salivary glands (CAMSG)
IHC in DDX of “Low-Grade”
Salivary Gland Neoplasms
• Pairing p63 and p40 reported to assist in differentiating pleomorphic adenoma (PA) from polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC):
– PA: p63+; p40+
– Cellular PA: p63+; p40+ or p63- ; p40-
– PLGA: p63+; p40-
– AdCC: p63 +; p40+
• Proliferation indices (Ki67 or MIB1)
– PA: <5%
– PLGA: <5%
– AdCC: increased up to 20%
PLGA Adenoid Cystic Ca

PLGA
Treatment and Prognosis
• Complete surgical resection treatment of
choice:
– radiation reserved for those tumors
with inadequate surgical margins or for
recurrent tumors;
– neck dissection is not indicated unless
there is evidence of cervical adenopathy
PLGA
Treatment and Prognosis
• Indolent neoplasm:
– local recurrence (9-17%)
– regional metastasis (9-15%):
• may occur in absence of local recurrence
• may occur years following diagnosis
– Death due to PLGA rarely occurs
– Rarely:
• Malignant component of CEPA;
• Transformation to histologically higher grade
PLGA
Treatment and Prognosis • Overall prognosis is excellent:
– indolent behavior: 95% 10-year survival
– local recurrence rate between 9% and 17%:
• due to its slow growth rate, local recurrence
typically occurs several years following initial
treatment
• Regional metastatic rate from 9% to 15%
– may occur years following initial treatment
• Distant metastases seldom reported
• Death attributed to tumor unusual and occurs after
prolonged periods

Salivary Gland Neoplasms
Summary
• Salivary gland lesions are diverse with overlapping clinical and pathologic features
• Diagnosis and DDX:• Cytomorphologic criteria supplemented by
IHC & molecular pathology
• FNAB &/or Biopsy:– Excellent initial diagnostic modality
– Provides guidance to the surgeon
– Limitations in sampling especially relative to differentiating benign neoplasms from some low-grade carcinomas
Salivary Gland Neoplasms
Conclusions
• Salivary gland lesions are diverse with
overlapping clinical and pathologic features
• Diagnosis and DDX usually by made by light
microscopic findings:
– Histomorphologic criteria supplemented by
IHC
– Criteria for malignancy
– Emerging role of molecular biology in
diagnosis and differential diagnosis

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Treatment and Prognosis
• Wide excision
• Radiotherapy useful in controlling
microscopic disease after initial surgery,
in treating locally recurrent disease or as
palliation management in unresectable
tumors
• Chemotherapy is utilized as palliation in
patients with advance disease
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Treatment and Prognosis Cont’d
• Recurrence rates range from 16-85%
• Regional lymph node metastases uncommon
ranging from 5-25%
• Distant metastasis ranges from 25-55%
• Survival rates:
– 5-year overall survival: 60-90%
– 10-year overall survival: 29-80%
– 15-year overall survival: 29-55%
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Treatment and Prognosis Cont’d
• VIIn paralysis: may be associated with
worse prognosis and quicker demise
• Histologic grade:
–Grades 1-2: 15 year survival rates:
–Grade I: 39%
–Grade II: 26%

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Treatment and Prognosis Cont’d
–Grade 3:
•higher incidence of metastasis:
–may metastasize even in clinically
lower stage tumors (e.g., T1, T2)
• earlier fatal outcomes:
–14% 5-year survival
–5% 15 year survival
Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Treatment and Prognosis Cont’d• Clinical stage:
– advanced stage associated with poorer
outcome
• Stage I: 75% 10-year survival;
• Stage II: 43% 10-year survival;
• Stages III-IV: 15% 10-year survival.
• Positive surgical margins and/or failure of
local disease control following initial surgery:
– recurrent tumor is generally a sign of
incurability
MEC, low-grade
Epidermoid cells,
mucocytes &
intermediate cells
Cystic & solid

Acinic Cell Adenocarcinoma
Treatment and Prognosis
• Surgical excision treatment of choice
• Radiation therapy generally not used
• Indolent neoplasm cured by surgery:
– approx. 35% recurrence rate;
– approx. 16% metastatic rate;
– approx. 16% disease-associated death rate
• 5-year disease specific survival of 91%
• Rarely may transformation (dedifferentiation) to histologically higher-grade neoplasm
