Abstract

Sialadenoma papilliferum (SP) is a rare benign tumour of salivary gland origin, which has been included among the ductal papillomas in the latest classification of tumours by the World Health Organisation. Two SP from the minor salivary gland of the palate of middle age patients were presented and studied by immunohistochemical. Our results showed presence of cytokeratins (CKs) 13, 14, 7, 8, 19 and absence of vimentin and smooth muscle actin. This immunoprofile is similar to the excretory duct of salivary gland.
