The objective of our study is to provide a comprehensive review of cytologic features and ancillary studies of mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC), discuss differential diagnosis and review recent advances in the understanding of its biologic behavior. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Case:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A 23-year-old female underwent ultrasound-guided FNA of a slowly enlarging parotid mass. Smears displayed branching clusters of bland vacuolated polygonal cells in a secretory proteinaceous background. Eosinophilic cells with eccentric nuclei and inconspicuous nucleoli were also noted. Based on positive intracellular mucin staining and the lack of extracellular-matrix material, the cytologic diagnosis rendered was \u2018suspicious for low grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma'. Superficial parotidectomy revealed an MASC confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies for ETV6 translocation. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; MASC should be included in the differential diagnosis of mucinous salivary lesions with cystic changes on FNA. Immunohistochemistry for mammaglobin and S-100 helps in excluding morphologic mimics. FISH helps to confirm the diagnosis. Age alone should not be a deterrent in diagnosing a carcinoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000368070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,23]],"date-time":"2014-10-23T10:26:19Z","timestamp":1414059979000},"page":"501-510","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology of Mammary Analog Secretory Carcinoma Masquerading as Low-Grade Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: Case Report with a Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Jaya","family":"Bajaj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cecilia","family":"Gimenez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farah","family":"Slim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Aziz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kasturi","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccr.2007.11.012"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.21766"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncy.21245"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cncy.21249"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.22886"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.24254"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-011-0283-x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.2012.04232.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4132\/KoreanJPathol.2013.47.1.36"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAS.0000000000000088"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.23139"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/dc.23146"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-014-0532-x"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.humpath.2013.06.010"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/his.12192"}],"container-title":["Acta Cytologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/368070","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/368070","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:45:37Z","timestamp":1745430337000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000368070"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000368070","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0001-5547","1938-2650"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0001-5547","type":"print"},{"value":"1938-2650","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}}}
