We present a series of 16 salivary gland tumors with histomorphologic and
immunohistochemical features reminiscent of secretory carcinoma of the breast. This is a
hitherto undescribed and distinctive salivary gland neoplasm, with features resembling both
salivary acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) and low-grade cystadenocarcinoma, and displaying
strong similarities to breast secretory carcinoma. Microscopically, the tumors have a
lobulated growth pattern and are composed of microcystic and glandular spaces with …
