Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm: New Insights Into Its Origin and Nomenclatures
The immunohistochemical profile of IPMN closely resembles that of the mucous cells of the minor salivary glands yet differs from the mucous cells observed in MEC and PCX. This suggests that IPMN is probably derived from the transformation of secretory cells of the minor mucous salivary gland and has no rimming/basal cells. For this reason, we propose that this tumor is designated as mucous acinic cell carcinoma.
