The aims of our paper were to establish the main histopathological, histochemical and immunohistochemical aspects of tumoral stroma from salivary pleomorphic adenomas. For this purpose we investigated 103 cases by the classical histopathological technique with paraffin embedding and staining with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE), Hematoxylin-Eosin-Safranin (HES), trichromic Masson, trichromic Goldner Szeckelly, orcein and Periodic Acid Schiff-Blue Alcian (PAS-AA). Immunohistochemically, they were investigated for AE1-AE3, MNF116, CK8, EMA, vimentin, alpha-actin calponin, S-100, GFAP, collagen IV, and PCNA. The results of our study suggest the key role of neoplastic myoepithelial cell in the achievement of diverse morphological aspects of stroma in such neoplasms.

We report a case of an aldosterone producing adrenocortical adenoma with rhabdoid features in a 16-year-old girl. Grossly, the tumor measured 30 mm in diameter and weighed 24 g. Histologically, the tumor was composed of approximately equal parts of tumor cells with rhabdoid features arranged in a solid and trabecular pattern and cells characterized by compact eosinophilic cytoplasm, solid growth with focal necroses, and increased mitotic activity. The lipid-rich tumor cells with ample clear vacuolized cytoplasm represent a minor component. Immunohistochemically, all the tumor cells showed the same results and were positive for vimentin, synaptophysin, Melan A, and alpha-inhibin. Cytokeratin CAM 5.2 was positive only focally. Chromogranin A, actin, alpha-actin, S100 protein, EMA, and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 were negative. Rhabdoid features have been described in many tumors of variable histogenesis; however, to the best of our knowledge, the presence of rhabdoid phenotype has never been described in either adrenocortical adenoma or carcinoma.
