Abstract
Background: Basaloid salivary tumors can demonstrate significant morphologic overlap and be challenging to diagnose.
Methods: A review of select ancillary studies in basaloid salivary tumors was performed.
Results: A number of immunohistochemical stains, including PLAG1, HMGA2, β-catenin, MYB, and RAS Q61R, have been more recently incorporated into the diagnostic workup of basaloid salivary tumors.
Conclusions: Although reported variability in their performance has perhaps limited their widespread adoption, these immunohistochemical studies can nevertheless be useful in supporting pathologic diagnoses, particularly when considered in more specific differentials or when used as a panel with other markers.
期刊介绍：
Head & Neck Pathology presents scholarly papers, reviews and symposia that cover the spectrum of human surgical pathology within the anatomic zones of the oral cavity, sinonasal tract, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary gland, ear and temporal bone, and neck.
The journal publishes rapid developments in new diagnostic criteria, intraoperative consultation, immunohistochemical studies, molecular techniques, genetic analyses, diagnostic aids, experimental pathology, cytology, radiographic imaging, and application of uniform terminology to allow practitioners to continue to maintain and expand their knowledge in the subspecialty of head and neck pathology. Coverage of practical application to daily clinical practice is supported with proceedings and symposia from international societies and academies devoted to this field.
Single-blind peer review
The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
