The most common site is the parotid gland (80 % of cases). SPA shows no gender predilection and occurs over a wide age spectrum (9-84 years). SPA is mostly unifocal, but may rarely be multifocal. Histologically, SPA are sharply circumscribed mostly unencapsulated lesions composed of acinar and ductal components with variable cytomorphological characteristics, including foamy, vacuolated, apocrine, mucous, clear/ballooned, squamous, columnar and oncocyte-like cells. Characteristic for SPA is the presence of large acinar cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules. The stroma is densely collagenized, frequently harbouring a variably intense chronic inflammatory infiltrate and may contain fat. Rarely the stroma is myxoid. Some degree of intraductal epithelial proliferations have been reported in at least 50 % of cases. The proportion of cases with epithelial proliferations that fulfill criteria for high-grade ductal carcinoma in-situ is | Source Title: | Head and Neck Pathology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/125891 | ISSN: | 1936055X | DOI: | 10.1007/s12105-013-0465-9 |
