To investigate that whether myoepithelial tumors of salivary glands (MTs) with EWSRI rearrangement display distinctive morphological characteristics and whether EWSRI detection aids to distinguish malignant myoepithelial tumors (MMTs) from benign myoepithelial tumors (BMTs) of salivary glands. We examined 37 cases of MTs, including 24 BMTs, 13 MMTs, by histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular analysis. All of 37 cases were immunoreactive for CKpan, and at least one myoepithelial marker. 26 of 37 cases of MTs were available to be analyzed for EWSRI rearrangement, with the result that EWSRI gene break was detected in 4 cases of 15 BMTs, and 4 cases of 11 MMTs. In addition, the 8 EWSR1-rearranged cases displayed not exactly similar morphological features, covering 4 clear-cell cases, 1 plasmacytoid-cell case, 1 spindle -cell case, 1 epithelioid-cell case, and 1 chordoid-cell case. Our study proposed that EWSRI rearrangement was present in a subset of MTs, with variable morphological features. Moreover, the presence of EWSRI rearrangement could not be a forceful evidence to distinguish MMTs from BBTs. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
