Abstract
A detailed electronmicroscopic study on glycogen-rich tumor is presented. The neoplasm originated from the minor salivary glands on the ventral surface of the tongue. The role of myoepithelial cells in the histogenesis of this lesion is not supported. It is proposed that the tumor arises from “undifferentiated” stem cells analogous to cells in the “end bud” stage of salivary gland morphogenesis. The presence of a large amount of glycogen is secondary to defective carbohydrate metabolism within the tumor cells. Cancer 52:105-111, 1983.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
