Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary glands.
TLDR
Electron microscopic examination of glutaraldehyde-fixed fresh tissue and previously formalin-fixed tissue reveals that the characteristic clear cytoplasm of abluminal cells is caused, in part, by glycogen storage granules and the paucity of organelles but largely by an artifact of fixation.About:

Epithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma: A Review of the Clinicopathologic Spectrum and Immunophenotypic Characteristics in 61 Tumors of the Salivary Glands and Upper Aerodigestive Tract
TL;DR: EMCa is generally a low-grade tumor with a broader morphologic spectrum than previously thought, with several key features predictive of recurrence, and immunohistochemistry can aid diagnosis by highlighting the biphasic nature of the tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myoepithelioma--new concepts of histology and classification: a light and electron microscopic study.
TL;DR: It is contention that salivary gland myoepitheliomas are not as rare as has been purported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of salivary glands.
TL;DR: Four cases of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary glands arose as painless masses in patients over 60 years old, three in the parotid and one in the submandibular gland.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of the salivary glands. A study of 22 cases.
Isabel Fonseca,Jorge Soares +1 more
TL;DR: Twenty-two cases of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of major and minor salivary glands were studied retrospectively to define the clinico-pathological profile and to assess the value of DNA ploidy as a prognostic tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal and neoplastic myoepithelial cells in salivary glands: an immunohistochemical study.
TL;DR: "Mesenchymal" cells and hyaline cells of pleomorphic adenoma and indifferent cells of adenoid cystic carcinoma were negative for both actin and myosin but positive for vimentin and occasionally also positive for keratin.

TL;DR: The carcinoma of the ducts of the salivary glands, according to light- and electronmicroscopic analyses of 8 cases, corresponds to an epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma that must be distinguished from acinic cell tumors, cylindromas (adenoid cystic carcinomas) and from mucoepidermoid tumors.

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of intercalated duct origin. A clinicopathologic and ultrastructural assessment of sixteen cases.
TL;DR: A clinicopathologic and ultrastructural analysis of sixteen cases of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma of intercalated duct origin was undertaken, together with a review and correlation of eight previously reported cases, confirming the duality of the cell population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructure of the acinic cell carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma of the parotid gland.
TL;DR: These cells seem to be undifferentiated tumor cells with an RNA deficient ribosomal apparatus, which would partly explain the slow growth of these tumors.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that this glycogen‐rich malignant tumor is of epithelial origin most probably of ductal cells, and was filled with massive accumulations of β glycogen particles.
