Disease relevance of Mixed Tumor, Malignant

• The remaining histologic types were few in number and included fibrosarcoma, muco-epidermoid carcinoma, melanoma, chondrosarcoma, adenocarcinoma, malignant Schwannoma, lymphosarcoma, malignant mixed tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, angiosarcoma, and osteogenic sarcoma [1].
• We restudied histologically and immunohistochemically 17 endometrial carcinomas, 2 malignant mixed tumors and 180 endometria with benign changes during or after tamoxifen therapy [2].
• RESULTS: Forty patients had mucoepidermoid carcinoma, 18 patients adenocarcinoma NOS, 18 patients acinic cell carcinoma, 15 patients adenoid cystic carcinoma, 11 patients malignant mixed tumor, 11 patients salivary duct carcinoma, and 13 patients other pathology [3].

High impact information on Mixed Tumor, Malignant

• The absence of ABO antigens in normal acinar glands supports their suggested myoepithelial or mesenchymal derivation, as the absence of antigen in benign and malignant mixed tumors supports their proposed mesenchymal derivation [4].
• In addition to histologic grading, Ki67 is a useful prognostic marker in the evaluation of malignant mixed tumor while p53 and E-cadherin appear to be of limited value [5].
• Stains were performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections from 18 cases of malignant mixed tumor [5].
