Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), the most common malignancies of the major salivary glands, are clinically and pathologically different. To determine whether MEC and ACC have different molecular characteristics, we examined the expression of erbB-2, erbB-3, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), important molecular features in other malignancies.
