BackgroundPolymorphous adenocarcinoma is a common intraoral minor salivary gland carcinoma in Western countries but is extremely rare in Japan. The current study aimed to characterize the clinicopathological features and status of molecular alterations of polymorphous adenocarcinoma‐associated genes, such asPRKD1/2/3,ARID1A, andDDX3X, in a large cohort of Japanese patients with polymorphous adenocarcinoma.MethodsWe examined the cases of 36 Japanese patients with salivary gland polymorphous adenocarcinoma and 26 cases involving histopathological mimics. To detect gene splits, fluorescence insituhybridization was carried out for polymorphous adenocarcinoma‐associated genes. Additionally, we applied a SNaPshot multiplex assay to identifyPRKD1hotspot mutations.ResultsThis study revealed the indolent clinical course of polymorphous adenocarcinoma with a high 10‐year overall survival rate (92.9%), accompanied by occasional local recurrences and cervical lymph node metastasis (23.3%). Twenty cases (55.6%) of polymorphous adenocarcinoma (but none of the mimics) exhibited alterations in at least one polymorphous adenocarcinoma‐associated gene. Rearrangement of polymorphous adenocarcinoma‐associated genes andPRKD1E710D were identified in 17 (47.2%) and 4 (11.1%) cases, respectively; one case showed coexistingPRKD3split andPRKD1E710D. In the multivariate analysis, high clinical stage (p= 0.0005), the presence of prominent nucleoli (p= 0.0003), andARID1Asplit positivity (p= 0.004) were independent risk factors for disease‐free survival.ConclusionJapanese patients with polymorphous adenocarcinoma showed clinicopathological features similar to those reported in Western countries. This study disclosed that polymorphous adenocarcinoma‐associated genetic alterations were common and specific findings in polymorphous adenocarcinomas. The diagnostic role and possible prognostic significance of polymorphous adenocarcinoma‐associated genetic alterations in polymorphous adenocarcinomas were suggested.
