【 摘 要 】

Estrogen receptor (ER) expression in salivary gland carcinomas is controversial, and most published studies considered no more than 10 cases. We analyzed ER expression by immunohistochemistry in 136 mucoepidermoid carcinomas and 72 adenoid cystic carcinomas. All cases were negative. These results do not support a role for estrogens in salivary gland mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma.
