Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Despite their similar cellular origin, pleomorphic adenomas (PA) and adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC) present distinct behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the immunoexpression of E-cadherin in PA and ACC of salivary glands, and to investigate differences in its expression in relation to E-cadherin gene (CDH1) -160C/A polymorphism. DESIGN: Twenty-four PA (15 cell-rich and 9 cell-poor tumors) and 24...
