The salivary glands are the site of many neoplasms characterized by a
mixture of epithelial and myoepithelial cells and stromal fragments. C
ytologic distinction of these neoplasms may be very difficult but care
ful attention to cellular details and the interaction between the cell
s and stroma can correctly classify these neoplasms as monomorphic or
pleomorphic adenomas, adenoid cystic carcinomas, or epithelial-myoepit
helial cell carcinomas. (C) 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
