Salivary gland neoplasms characterized by abundant mucin production are rare but have long been recognized. Due to their scarcity, precise classification has long eluded these mucin-rich tumors. Recent molecular discoveries, however, have shed considerable light on the genetic underpinnings of mucin-rich salivary gland neoplasms. This manuscript will review the most up-to-date information on this fascinating group of salivary gland neoplasms.
