Differential diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma by immunohistochemical means.
Journal of Laryngology and Otology 1991 December
Immunohistochemical study of major salivary gland tumours was performed on 60 pleomorphic adenomas, five basal cell adenomas and 10 adenoid cystic carcinomas to determine the diagnostic value of each antigen. Immunoreactivity examined were intermediate filaments (keratin, vimentin, desmin and glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]) and related substances (actin, S-100 protein and secretory component). In pleomorphic adenomas, there was positive immunoreactivity for GFAP which was not observed in normal tissue or other neoplastic tissues. Immunoreactivity of GFAP was closely related to myxomatous and early chondromatous differentiation in pleomorphic adenoma. It is considered that GFAP immunoreactivity should be assessed in the occasional differential diagnostic dilemma of pleomorphic adenoma versus adenoid cystic carcinoma and basal cell adenoma, because of its ability to show potential and definite myxochondromatous differentiation.
