Abstract

There is an ongoing explosion of new information regarding the underlying molecular alterations driving a variety of salivary gland neoplasms. The volume of this emerging data makes it difficult to keep up with and may cause pathologists to believe that salivary gland neoplasms cannot be diagnosed without genetic analysis. This review focuses on the practical diagnostic applications of molecular tools in surgical pathology specimens.
