Abstract:
Salivary gland neoplasms characterized by abundant mucin production are rare but have long been recognized. Due to their scarcity, precise classification has long eluded these mucin-rich tumors. Recent molecular discoveries, however, have shed considerable light on the genetic underpinnings of mucin-rich salivary gland neoplasms. This manuscript will review the most up-to-date information on this fascinating group of salivary gland neoplasms.
摘要:
以大量粘蛋白产生为特征的唾液腺肿瘤很少见,但早已得到认可。由于它们的稀缺性,精确分类长期以来一直困扰着这些富含粘蛋白的肿瘤。最近的分子发现,然而,对富含粘蛋白的唾液腺肿瘤的遗传基础有了相当大的了解。本手稿将回顾有关这组迷人的唾液腺肿瘤的最新信息。
