Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the skin was studied. Histologically, tumor cells were arranged in a tubular and a cribriform pattern, mainly int he reticular dermis. Immunohistochemically, epithelial membrane antigen was reactive with the tumor cells, but S-100 protein, vimentin, and carcino-embryonic antigen were not. On electron microscopy, we confirmed the findings of previous reports; tumor cells were arranged to form luminal structures; most of them were pseudolumina containing fine mucin granules, basal laminae, and collagen fibers, but some were true lumina with numerous microvilli and junctional complexes. New findings of this study were bizarre-shaped, electron-dense, net-like structures within the true lumina which were considered to be a type of mucin.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.

D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract.

D003528 Carcinoma, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma characterized by bands or cylinders of hyalinized or mucinous stroma separating or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or cribriform appearance. Such tumors occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves.
