Why the term "Pleomorphic" was given? Is this valid? why? |
since it was thought the
growth originated from ‘multiple’ germ layers that give rise to ‘epithelial’ and ‘mesenchymal’ components of salivary tissue. Now we know that, myoepithelial cell is present in periductal locations and has the ‘potential’ to ‘differentiate’ into “epithelial” and "connective tissue” cell types |
