The World Health Organization's Histological Classification of Salivary Gland Tumors. A commentary on the second edition
Abstract
The second edition of the World Health Organization's Histological Classification of Salivary Gland Tumors is more extensive and detailed than the previous edition published 20 years ago. The new edition is based on data regarding newly described tumor entities and the behavior and prognosis of the previously classified tumors. The distinct morphologic features of monomorphic adenomas justify their separation for purposes of identification. Among the carcinomas, various types were distinguished for purposes of recognition, prognosis, and treatment. The term tumor was replaced by carcinoma in the following two entities: acinic cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The tumor-like lesions were described in more detail.
