Testing Algorithm
Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
This test does not include a pathology consultation. If a pathology consult is requested, PATHC / Pathology Consultation should be ordered, and the appropriate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test will be performed at an additional charge.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Salivary adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC), although uncommon, are frequent among salivary gland malignancies. ACC is typically an aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. Histologically, ACC show significant morphologic overlap with other salivary gland tumors, but have a much different clinical course. Because ACC requires a management distinct from histologically similar lesions, it is important to make an accurate diagnosis. Translocations between MYB (6q23.3) and NFIB (9p24) have been identified in a large proportion of primary salivary gland ACC. These alterations have not been identified in other salivary gland tumors. Therefore, separation of MYB, in the proper clinical and histologic context, is diagnostic for ACC and can be confirmed by FISH with MYB break-apart probes.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal cutoff for the probe set.
A positive result suggests rearrangement of the MYB locus. The presence of a MYB rearrangement in conjunction with the proper clinical and histologic features is diagnostic of adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACC). A confirmed diagnosis of ACC results in specific clinical management that may be distinct from the management of other salivary gland neoplasms.
A negative result suggests no rearrangement of the MYB gene region at 6q23.3. The absence of a MYB rearrangement does not exclude the diagnosis of ACC, as a subset of ACCs do not show an MYB rearrangement.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and it is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
This test is only intended to be used in the diagnosis of salivary gland tumors. This test has not been validated on adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) arising from nonsalivary gland locations. The results of this test are intended to be interpreted in association with the pathologic and clinical findings. The absence of MYB rearrangement does not exclude the diagnosis of ACC.
Fixatives other than formalin (eg, Prefer, Bouin) may not be successful for FISH assays, however nonformalin-fixed samples will not be rejected.
Paraffin-embedded tissues that have been decalcified are generally unsuccessful for FISH analysis. The pathologist reviewing the hematoxylin and eosin-stained slide may find it necessary to cancel testing.
Supportive Data
The probe was independently validated in a blinded study on 48 paraffin-embedded adenoid cystic carcinoma tissue specimens and 25 noncancerous control specimens. The normal controls were used to generate a normal cutoff for this assay.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
This test is performed using a laboratory-developed MYB dual-color break-apart strategy probe (BAP). Paraffin-embedded tissues are cut at 5 microns and mounted on positively charged glass slides. The selection of tissue and the identification of target areas on the hematoxylin and eosin (H and E)-stained slide are performed by a pathologist. Using the H and E-stained slide as a reference, target areas are etched with a diamond-tipped etcher on the back of the unstained slide to be assayed. The probe is hybridized to the appropriate target areas and 2 technologists each analyze 50 interphase nuclei (100 total) with the results expressed as the percent abnormal nuclei.(Unpublished Mayo method)
