Non-cystic Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis: Diagnosis of a Hitherto Undescribed Pattern.

A case of sclerosing polycystic adenosis without cysts is described. The lesion occurred as a painless slow growing superficial right parotid lump in a 47 years old woman. The tumor measured 14 × 10 mm and displayed extreme well circumscription, sclerotic stroma with scattered hyaline nodules, sprinkling of mononuclear inflammatory cells and islands of mature fat. The epithelial component was predominantly composed of tubules lined by low columnar to cuboidal epithelium with bland nuclear features. Only focal incomplete acinar differentiation with few cells containing small eosinophilic granules was present. The stroma contained a significant fibromyxoid component with increased cellularity. There was no recurrence on follow-up at 14 months.
