ABC: adenoid basal carcinoma; ACC adenoid cystic carcinoma; ER: estrogen receptor; PR progesterone receptor; CEA carcinoembryonic antigen; CK cytokeratin; EMA epithelial membrane antigen; NA not applicable; SMA smooth muscle actin; MSA muscle specific actin; NS not stated.** stromal cells only were positive for ER and PR in one case [11].
  2. *Cases reported by Brainard and Hart [10] are excluded because it is not clearly stated how many cases were tested.
