Immunohistochemical staining of CD105 in salivary gland tumors (streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase
technique, original magnification = × 250). A. Pleomorphic adenoma, depicting very weak staining (arrow). B. Only one primary
non metastasizing adenoid cystic carcinoma was positive for CD105 staining, of weak
intensity (arrow). C. Adenoid cystic carcinoma, primary metastasizing lesion, depicting
clear and strong positivity around and within tumoral nests (arrows). D. Polymorphous
low-grade adenocarcinoma, primary non-metastasizing lesion, with strongly positive
vessels (arrow) permeating tumoral strands. E. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, primary non-metastasizing
lesion, with strongly positive vessels (arrows) around tumoral nests. F. Mucoepidermoid
carcinoma, primary metastasizing lesion, evidencing numerous and strongly positive
vessels (arrows) intermingling tumoral parenchima.
