Abstract
Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland (CASG) is an entity that is currently classified under polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC), cribriform subtype per the 2022 WHO classification of head and neck tumours. There is debate about whether CASG should be considered a separate diagnostic entity, as CASG differs from conventional PAC in anatomic site, clinical behaviors, and molecular patterns. Herein we describe a challenging and unique case which shares histologic and behavioral features between CASG and conventional PAC with a YLPM1::PRKD1 rearrangement not previously reported in the literature.
期刊介绍:
Head & Neck Pathology presents scholarly papers, reviews and symposia that cover the spectrum of human surgical pathology within the anatomic zones of the oral cavity, sinonasal tract, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary gland, ear and temporal bone, and neck.
The journal publishes rapid developments in new diagnostic criteria, intraoperative consultation, immunohistochemical studies, molecular techniques, genetic analyses, diagnostic aids, experimental pathology, cytology, radiographic imaging, and application of uniform terminology to allow practitioners to continue to maintain and expand their knowledge in the subspecialty of head and neck pathology. Coverage of practical application to daily clinical practice is supported with proceedings and symposia from international societies and academies devoted to this field.
Single-blind peer review
The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
