Review and Updates of Immunohistochemistry in
Selected Salivary Gland and Head and Neck
Tumors
 Shaobo Zhu, MD; Conrad Schuerch, MD;
Jennifer Hunt, MD
Background:
 34 benign and malignant salivary gland
epithelial tumors according to the 2005
classification of the World Health
Organization.
 Diverse morphology and overlapping
histologic features.
 Immunohistochemistry is an adjunct tool to
identify the cellular differentiation and assign
correct classifications.
 3 major pairs of salivary glands and many minor
salivary glands.
 The glands are composed of acini (serous,
mucinous, and mixed) and ducts (intercalated,
striated, and excretory).
 The acini and intercalated duct are surrounded by
myoepithelial cells.
 The striated duct and excretory duct are surrounded
by basal cells.
 Most salivary gland tumors originate from
acinar/ductal epithelial cells (luminal cells) and/or
myoepithelial/basal cells (abluminal cells).
 Monophasic tumors : myoepithelioma, acinic cell
carcinoma, and salivary duct carcinoma.
 Biphasic tumors includes tumors pleomorphic
adenoma, epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma, and
adenoid cystic carcinoma.
 Some tumors demonstrate other unique cellular
differentiation, such as sebaceous
adenoma/carcinoma, lymphadenoma, and
mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
The acinar/ductal epithelial cells are:
 Positive for keratins (CK7 and CAM 5.2) and
epithelial membrane antigen (EMA).
 They are focally positive or negative for high
molecular-weight keratins (HMWKs; CK5/6 and
34bE12)
 Negative for p63, myoid markers (smooth muscle
myosin heavy chain, smooth muscle actin,
calponin), and CK20
A-Keratin
B- CAM
5.2
3.SOX10
Myoepithelial cells:
 Positive for p63, myoid markers,
vimentin, S100, and HMWKs (CK5/6,
34bE12),
 Weak expression for CK7 and CAM 5.2
 No expression for EMA.
Basal cells:
 Positive for p63 and HMWKs (CK5/6, 34bE12)
 Weakly positive or negative for CK7, CAM 5.2
and myoid markers (SMMHC, SMA, calponin)
 Negative for CK20, vimentin, S100, and EMA.
 (p63 also stains squamous epithelium)

 SOX10-positive tumors
1) Acinic cell carcinomas
2) Adenoid cystic carcinomas
3) Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas
4) Myoepithelial carcinomas
5) Pleomorphic adenomas
 SOX10-negative tumors
1) Salivary duct carcinomas
2) Mucoepidermoid carcinomas
3) Squamous cell carcinomas
4) Oncocytic carcinomas/oncocytomas
5) Warthin tumors
Acinic Cell Carcinoma
 Demonstrates both serous acinar and
intercalated ductal epithelial differentiation.
 Express CK7 and CAM 5.2
 Negative for p63 and CK20, myoid markers.
 Positive for DOG1.
(DOG1 with PAS can be used to distinguish it from
mammary analogue secretory carcinoma)
Mammary Analogue Secretory
Carcinoma
 Histologically, immunohistochemically, and
genetically similar to secretory carcinoma of the
breast.
 The tumor has a t(12;15)(p13;q25) ETV6-NTRK3
translocation that is also present in breast
secretory carcinoma.
Review and Updates of Immunohistochemistry inSelected Salivary Gland and Head and Neck Tumors
 Positive for S100, mammaglobin, CK7, CK8, CK18,
CK19, 34bE12, EMA, GCDFP-15, GATA3, STAT5a,
MUC1, MUC4, and vimentin.
 Basal cell/myoepithelial cell markers usually do not
show expression in the tumor.
 Negative for androgen receptor, ER, PR, HER2/neu.
 The MIB-1 indices range between 5% and 28%.46
Acinic cell carcinoma Mammary analogue
secretory carcinoma
CK8, CK 19 NEGATIVE POSITIVE
GCDFP-15,
Mammoglonin
RARELY POSITIVE POSITIVE
MUC4, S100 NEGATIVE POSITIVE
 mammaglobin and S100 expression can be seen
in polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas
(60%) and adenoid cystic carcinomas (13.3%).
 However both these tumors are positive for p63
and negative for GCDFP-15.
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
 Positive for CK5, CK6, CK7, CK8, CK14, CK18,
CK19, EMA, CEA, and p63
 CK20, SMA, muscle specific actin (MSA), and
S100.
 Strong staining for p63 helps differentiating
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma from acinic cell
carcinoma, oncocytoma and oncocytic carcinoma
and mammary analogue secretory
carcinoma.mmary analogue secretory
carcinoma
Myoepithelial Carcinoma
 Immunoreactivity for both keratins and at least 1
myoepithelial marker is required for the diagnosis.
 vimentin, calponin, S100, CK AE1/3, 34bE12,
CAM 5.2, EMA caldesmon, SMA, MSA, GAFP
 Calponin is the most sensitive and specific
marker to identify myoepithelial differentiation.
 A panel including CK AE1/3, CAM 5.2, CK5/6,
calponin, SMA, S100, and vimentin, can be
helpful to make an accurate diagnosis.

Salivary Duct Carcinoma
 AR, GCDFP-15, GATA3, CK AE1/3, CK7, 34bE12,
CEA, and EMA.
 Ki-67 expression markedly increased.
 The immunophenotype AR+/ER-/PR-/GCDFP+ is
characteristic of salivary duct carcinoma, but it does
not completely exclude metastasis from the breast,
which might also be AR+, ER/PR –
 80% of salivary duct carcinomas show HER2/ neu
and p53 overexpression, which correlates to poor
prognosis.
 Prostatic acid phosphatase and
prostate-specific antigen expression can
be detected.
 In men with unknown prostatic acid
phosphatase–positive and prostate-
specific antigen positive metastatic
carcinoma, salivary duct carcinoma
should be included in the differential
diagnosis in addition to prostatic
adenocarcinoma.
 CK7 and HMWKs are helpful.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
 Malignant biphasic epithelial tumor composed of
modified myoepithelial and ductal cells.
 Both ductal and myoepithelial/basal cell markers,
such as CK7, CAM 5.2, calponin, SMA, SMMHC,
p63, SOX10, and S100.
 Most adenoid cystic carcinomas showed strong
and diffuse expression of c-KIT
 Overexpression of Ki-67 and p5 associated with
poor prognosis.
 A recurrent t(6;9)(q22-23;p23-24) translocation
identified in adenoid cystic carcinoma. This leads
to the fusion of MYB and NFIB.
Polymorphous Low-Grade
Adenocarcinoma
 Expresses CK AE1/3, CAM 5.2, 34bE12, EMA,
p53, p63, vimentin, bcl-2, S100.
 Overlapping histologic features with pleomorphic
adenoma/canalicular adenoma and adenoid
cystic carcinoma (especially in small biopsies).
