TL;DR
This paper reports a rare case of mucoacinar carcinoma in the parotid gland, highlighting its unique features and molecular profile.
Contribution
The study adds to the limited literature on mucoacinar carcinoma by detailing its histomorphology, immunophenotype, and molecular characteristics.
Findings
Mucoacinar carcinoma is a rare subtype of mucoepidermoid carcinoma with serous acinar differentiation.
The case emphasizes the tumor's unique histological and immunophenotypic features.
Molecular profiling is presented to aid in understanding this rare cancer subtype.
Abstract
Mucoacinar carcinoma is an exceedingly rare subtype of mucoepidermoid carcinoma with serous acinar differentiation. We present this case to contribute to the limited existing literature, with emphasis on its molecular profile and unique histomorphology and immunophenotype.
