ABSTRACT
Pulmonary salivary gland-type, although bear resemblance to their salivary gland counterparts, present a diagnostic challenge due to their rarity. Clinical features overlap with lung carcinoma; however, management strategies and outcomes are distinct. Onus falls on the pathologist to avoid misinterpretation of small biopsies especially in young, nonsmokers with slow growing or circumscribed endobronchial growths. A combination of cytokeratin, myoepithelial immunohistochemical markers, and identification of signature molecular alteration is invaluable in differentiation from lung cancers and subtyping the pulmonary salivary gland-type tumor.
