Abstract
Various topographically heterogeneous, histologically related groups of basaloid tumours are characterized by ghost cell differentiation with associated CTNNB1 mutations and nuclear β-catenin expression. We describe the unique case of a malignant tumour with ghost cell differentiation in the floor of the mouth, in which clinical, radiological, histological, immunohistological and molecular data altogether strongly indicate classification as a new type of salivary gland carcinoma.
