Consisting of infiltrative proliferation of squamous cells and mucous cells, its morphologic features are reminiscent of the salivary gland-type MEC except for the absence of intermediate cells and frequent keratin production. We reported 2 cases of conjunctival adenosquamous carcinoma and, for the first time, studied the MAML2 translocation status of this rare entity. The 2 patients were women, aged 45 and 42 years, presenting with an erythematous lesion in the left lower palpebral conjunctiva and a pigmented nodule over the left nasal conjunctiva, respectively. One tumor recurred 6 months after the initial biopsy. Excision with lid reconstruction and postoperative radiotherapy was performed for margin involvement and perineural invasion. This patient was disease free at 3-year follow-up. The other patient was lost to follow-up after tumor excision. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction failed to demonstrate MAML2 translocation and CRCT1-MAML2 transcripts in both tumors. The absence of this characteristic translocation and reappraisal of the cellular composition, morphologic features, and precursor lesion suggest that conjunctival MEC may represent a variant of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma but not related to the salivary gland-type MEC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1066896920918944","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,1]],"date-time":"2020-06-01T02:14:50Z","timestamp":1590977690000},"page":"893-898","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Conjunctival Adenosquamous Carcinoma Lacks\n                    <i>MAML2<\/i>\n                    Translocation: A Variant of Squamous Cell Carcinoma With Mucoepidermoid Differentiation and Aggressive Behavior?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Allie","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hunter Kwok Lai","family":"Yuen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, China"},{"name":"Hong Kong Eye Hospital, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clement C.
