General description

Calponin is a 34 kD polypeptide that interacts with actin, tropomyosin, and calmodulin. It is involved in smooth muscle contraction mechanism and is restricted exclusively to smooth muscle tissue. Anti-calponin has been found to be useful in differentiating benign sclerosing lesions of the breast from carcinoma. Calponin positivity has also been noted in malignant myoepithelioma and pleomorphic adenoma of salivary gland origin, as well as angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Angiomatoid "malignant" fibrous histiocytoma (AMFH) has been considered to be a low-grade sarcoma of childhood, and, with its fibrous pseudocapsule, angiomatoid change, dense lymphoplasmacytic response, and proliferation of spindled or round cells, has been classified as a fibrohistiocytic neoplasm.

Myoepithelial cells of salivary glands have a complex cytoskeletal immunophenotype. To elaborate the smooth muscle phenotype of salivary gland myoepithelium and to assess its contribution to the histogenesis of pleomorphic adenomas, we evaluated the immunohistochemical expression of three novel monoclonal

Malignant myoepithelioma (MME) of the salivary gland, also known as myoepithelial carcinoma, is rare and its biologic behavior has not been clarified fully. Ten cases of MME were analyzed for their clinicopathologic features and immunohistochemical characteristics, focusing on prognostic factors

Myoepitheliomas and mixed tumors were only recently recognized to occur primarily in soft tissue, and only small case numbers have been described. To characterize these tumors further and to evaluate prognostic parameters, 101 myoepithelial tumors of soft tissue were retrieved
