Abstract
Mammary analogue secretory carcinoma (MASC) of the salivary gland is a
malignant tumor which bears morphologic, immunohistochemical and molecular
features similar to those of mammary secretory carcinoma. The tumor is
considered as a low-grade malignancy perhaps slightly more aggressive than
acinic cell carcinoma. High-grade transformation with recurrences, regional
nodal involvement, metastases, and cancer-related death has been reported
in a few cases. We report an unusual case of large MASC of the parotid gland
in a young patient without regional lymph node involvement. To the best of
our knowledge till date such a large MASC of the salivary gland has not been
reported in the English literature.
