Author ProfileAbstract
Secretory carcinoma of salivary gland is a recently-recognized tumor
resulting in pathognomic ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion, identification of which
is gold standard for diagnosis. In resource-limited settings unable to
perform molecular analysis, histology and immunohistochemistry are
quintessential for diagnosis. We present an illustrative case,
discussing typical presentation of this rare entity.27 Sep 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 28 Jun 2023Assigned to Editor
