Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland
Diagnosis in short
Synonyms cribriform adenocarcioma of the tongue
LM cribriform and solid architecture, cytology similar to papillary thyroid carcinoma (irregular nuclear membranes, nuclear overlap), usually covered by an intact squamous epithelium
LM DDx polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma
IHC CK7 +ve, vimentin +ve, CD117 -ve/+ve, S-100 +ve
Site head and neck - usually tongue
Prevalence very rare
Prognosis good
Clin. DDx other salivary gland tumours
Treatment excision

Cribriform adenocarcinoma of the minor salivary gland, abbreviated CAMSG, is a rare malignancy of the salivary gland, typically of the tongue.[1]

It is also known as cribriform adenocarcioma of the tongue, abbreviated CAT.

General

  • Rare - small case series and case reports.
  • Typically tongue - first described there.[2]
  • Good prognosis[1] - on limited data.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Typically covered by an intact squamous epithelium.[1]
  • Growth patterns - cribriform and solid.
  • Cytology similar to papillary thyroid carcinoma.[1]
    • Irregular nuclear membranes (raisin-like nuclei).
    • Nuclear overlap.
