Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma of salivary glands: A clinicopathologic study of 11 cases

Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) is a recently described tumor sharing the histologic, immunohistochemical and molecular profile of secretory carcinoma of breast. We aimed to evaluate the morphologic and histochemical features needed/required for the diagnosis of MASC without adjunct of molecular analysis. Six retrospective cases suspicious for MASC and 5 prospective cases reported as MASC were included in the study. Molecular analysis of ETV6 by FISH was performed at University of Pittsburg, USA.
