Mucin-rich salivary gland tumors
Abstract
Salivary gland neoplasms characterized by abundant mucin production are rare but have long been recognized. Due to their scarcity, precise classification has long eluded these mucin-rich tumors. Recent molecular discoveries, however, have shed considerable light on the genetic underpinnings of mucin-rich salivary gland neoplasms. This manuscript will review the most up-to-date information on this fascinating group of salivary gland neoplasms.
