Sialadenopapillary Ductal Tumors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sialadenoma papilliferum is a tumor characterized by surface papillary projections and glandular/microcystic proliferation at the lesion base. Cases in which surface involvement is absent have been termed "sialadenoma papilliferum-like intraductal papillary tumor." Similar tumors that are present in the mandible have been termed "tubulopapillary hidradenoma-like tumor of the mandible." While previously considered benign, these tumors demonstrate variable clinical behavior and likely exist on a spectrum, rather than as discrete entities. In this study, we present a detailed clinicopathologic and molecular analysis of these lesions and propose a unifying diagnostic term: sialadenopapillary ductal tumor (SDT). Twenty-two cases with similar histologic features were reviewed, with special attention being paid to the clinicopathologic features. Immunohistochemistry for BRAF V600E and molecular testing were performed where material was available. The cases had varying diagnoses, ranging from benign to malignant. Six cases involved bone, 1 of which metastasized to a local lymph node. Of the 20 cases tested for BRAF V600E by immunohistochemistry, 18 were positive. Molecular testing was performed in 5 cases, where BRAF, PTPN11, and PIK3CA mutations were identified, predominantly members of the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. In addition, 1 case was reclassified as an intraductal carcinoma after the identification of an NCOA4::RET gene fusion. Tumors on the SDT spectrum all share morphologic and molecular commonalities with unreliable distinguishing features. These tumors demonstrate the potential for aggressive local growth and regional metastasis. We propose a unifying diagnostic term for these lesions to reflect their common morphologic and molecular features and, most importantly, low malignant potential.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
