As refinements in classification with clinicopathologic correlations proceed, the "adenocarcinomas, not otherwise specified" (NOS) of salivary tissue are reduced in number. Clinicopathologic entities such as salivary duct carcinoma, terminal duct carcinoma, and epimyoepithelial carcinoma, formerly in the NOS category, are examples of this process. There remain, however, adenocarcinomas of salivary tissues that cannot be accommodated in conventional classifications. They are the least common of salivary carcinomas and manifest a cytoarchitecture ranging from a well-differentiated, low-grade appearance to high-grade, invasive lesions. This report addresses this group of carcinomas for which the NOS designation is still applicable.
随着伴有临床病理相关性的分类方法不断完善，唾液腺组织中“未另行规定的腺癌”（NOS）数量减少。诸如唾液腺导管癌、终末导管癌和肌上皮癌等临床病理实体，以前属于NOS类别，就是这一过程的例证。然而，仍存在一些唾液腺组织腺癌无法纳入传统分类。它们是唾液腺癌中最不常见的类型，其细胞结构从高分化、低级别表现到高级别浸润性病变不等。本报告探讨了这一组仍适用NOS命名的癌。
