| + | The classic subtype contains epithelial and myoepithelial cells with spaces called pseudolamina that contain stromal matrix with stromal cells (endothelial cells, fibroblasts) and basement membrane material (stains positive for collagen IV and laminin). Two cell populations are observed: an epithelial component that stains with low molecular weight cytokeratins (CK7, CK8), EMA, and sometimes CK5/6, and a myoepithelial component that stains with high molecular weight cytokeratins (CK14, CK5/6, p63) and typically also with myoepithelial markers (heavy-chain myosin, calponin, S100, CD10). |
| + | |
| + | The solid basaloid subtype contains solid nests of basaloid cells with high grade nuclear features (marked nuclear atypia, high mitotic count, and necrosis). |

| + | A study of adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands by Drier and others delineates the mechanism of ''MYB'' gene pathway upregulation via rearrangements that increase MYB expression. ''MYB'' rearrangements typically juxtapose ''MYB'' with strong enhancers in regions downstream of ''NFIB, TGFBR3'' and ''RAD51B.'' Gene fusions most often occur on the 3' side of ''MYB'', a subset of gene fusions occur on the 5' side, and all serve to bring the ''MYB'' gene locus close to strong enhancer elements, thus upregulating MYB expression. The authors note that TP63 signaling is active in the myoepithelial component of low grade adenoid cystic carcinomas, while Notch signaling is active in luminal epithelial components. Furthermore, the authors suggest that Notch pathway mutations may underlie the switch to solid histology and the more aggressive clinical course of these tumors.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Drier|first=Yotam|last2=Cotton|first2=Matthew J.|last3=Williamson|first3=Kaylyn E.|last4=Gillespie|first4=Shawn M.|last5=Ryan|first5=Russell J.
