Abstract
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.
