The differential diagnosis is usually between mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) and adenosquamous carcinoma. We present here two tumors that exemplify both the challenges of diagnostic classification, as well as the complex relationship to HPV: (a) a low risk HPV positive\/p16 negative carcinoma that is most consistent with a relatively typical intermediate grade mucoepidermoid type carcinoma with complete MEC phenotype (three cell types), originating from intranasal sinonasal papillomas with exophytic and inverted patterns, and invading surrounding maxillary compartments, and (b) a p16 and keratin 7 (KRT7) positive carcinoma of the right tonsil, characterized by stratified squamous and mucinous cell (mucocyte) features. Whereas the first tumor represents a typical MEC ex-Schneiderian papilloma, the second is morphologically most consistent with the, novel for this anatomic location, diagnosis of \u201cinvasive stratified mucin producing carcinoma\u201d (ISMC), pointing to an analogy to similar, high-risk HPV-driven malignancies recently described in the gynecologic (GYN) and genitourinary (GU) areas. Both tumors, despite their mucoepidermoid-like features had no connection to salivary glands and lacked the MAML2 translocation typical of salivary gland MEC, pointing to a mucosal\/non-salivary gland origin. Using these two carcinomas as examples, we attempt to address questions related to: (a) the histological distinction between MEC, adenosquamous carcinoma, and ISMC, (b) similarities and differences between these histological entities in mucosal sites versus morphologically similar salivary gland tumors, and (c) the role of HPV in these tumors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10668969231185149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,11]],"date-time":"2023-07-11T02:30:04Z","timestamp":1689042604000},"page":"607-614","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Two Head and Neck Carcinomas With Squamous and Mucinous Components and Human Papillomavirus Associations: Maxillary Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma ex Sinonasal Schneiderian Papilloma and Tonsillar Invasive Stratified Mucin Producing Carcinoma (ISMC)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5894-7051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura C.","family":"Malone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William S.","family":"Twaddell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cinthia B.","family":"Drachenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyle M.","family":"Hatten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John C.","family":"Papadimitriou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Maryland School of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-011-0245-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.humpath.2019.08.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-012-0411-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-014-0541-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-014-0527-7"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599815571285"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/1055-9965.EPI-16-0619"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/modpathol.3880524"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(197209)30:3<668::AID-CNCR2820300315>3.0.CO;2-B"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0196-0709(93)90091-K"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.22379"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mpdhp.2015.06.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/IOP.0b013e3181eea4e4"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0301-4738.159893"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.16.1.1-17.2003"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","first-page":"28","volume-title":"WHO classification of head and neck tumours","author":"Hunt JL","year":"2017","unstructured":"Hunt JL, Bell D, Sarioglu S.
