- Described in pediatric patient.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Large cells with abundant cytoplasm.
- Small nuclei.
- +/-Lymphocytic infiltrate.
DDx:
- Acinic cell carcinoma - very closely mimics.
- Mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
Images
IHC
- S-100 +ve.[1]
Molecular
- t(12;15)(p13;q25).
- Fusion of the genes ETV6 and NTRK3.[1]
Note:
