Accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of salivary gland masses according to the Milan reporting system and to an in-house system.

abstract：:Benign and malignant papillary lesions of the breast (PBL) can be difficult to distinguish in fine-needle aspirates (FNA). This study evaluates the use of smooth muscle actin (SMA) and a new smooth muscle-specific protein, calponin, for identifying myoepithelial cells (MEC) by immunohistochemical methods in paraffin-e...
