pubmed:abstractText |
This study describes the light microscopic, histochemical and electron-microscopic findings of 10 acinic cell carcinomas from the major and minor salivary glands. Ultrastructurally, four cell types were identified: secretory acinar cells, intercalated duct-like cells, pluripotential reserve/stem cells and myoepithelial cells. This cellular composition suggests that the tumours are derived from neoplastic proliferation, cytodifferentiation and functional maturation of pluripotential reserve/stem cells which normally reside at the acinar-intercalated duct junctions and/or in the intercalated ducts proper of adult salivary glands. This study further supports the concept that different salivary gland tumours recapitulate various developmental stages in the normal embryogenesis of the salivary glands.
