Pleomorphic adenoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands: E-cadherin immunoexpression and analysis of the CDH1 −160C/A polymorphism

Highlights • E-cadherin expression in PA and ACC is mainly related to cellular composition (epithelial cells versus myoepithelial cells) and the degree of differentiation of myoepithelial cells. • The CDH1 −160C/A polymorphism does not seem to significantly influence the expression of E-cadherin in...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • E-cadherin expression in PA and ACC is mainly related to cellular composition (epithelial cells versus myoepithelial cells) and the degree of differentiation of myoepithelial cells. • The CDH1 −160C/A polymorphism does not seem to significantly influence the expression of E-cadherin in PA and ACC of salivary glands.
