Myoepithelial cell adenoma of the parotid gland: a light and ultrastructural study. 1982

A P Chaudhry, and S Satchidanand, and R Peer, and L S Cutler

Light, histochemical, and ultrastructural features of a myoepithelial cell adenoma of the parotid gland are described. Ultrastructurally, the neoplasm was almost entirely composed of myoepithelium. The spindle-shaped myoepithelial cells and their processes were filled with longitudinally oriented myofilaments with characteristic densities along their course and marginal attachment plaques. The tumor cells were interconnected by desmosomes. The role of myoepithelium in the genesis of some salivary gland tumors is discussed.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D003896 Desmosomes A type of junction that attaches one cell to its neighbor. One of a number of differentiated regions which occur, for example, where the cytoplasmic membranes of adjacent epithelial cells are closely apposed. It consists of a circular region of each membrane together with associated intracellular microfilaments and an intercellular material which may include, for example, mucopolysaccharides.
