Abstract

Extensive use of two-colour immunofluorescence staining for various cell markers in pleomorphic adenoma, revealed three consistent phenotypic features: (1) keratin polypeptide No. 14, which was virtually restricted to myoepithelial cells (MEC) in normal salivary glands, appeared in a large fraction of the tumour cells, suggesting that the principal neoplastic element is derived from MEC or their immediate precursors; (2) a complex co-expression pattern of various cell markers was found, with extensive concurrence of keratin and vimentin in strands of MEC-like and myxoid tumour cells, probably reflecting different degrees of tumour cell differentiation; and (3) two phenotypically distinctive dendritic cell populations were identified, one consisting of keratin positive tumour cells and the other of HLA-DR positive but keratin negative stromal cells. The significance of these findings with regard to the histogenesis and complex morphology of pleomorphic adenoma is discussed.
