Popis: BACKGROUND Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is the key molecule for catalyzing fatty acid synthesis and have been associated with several malignant tumors. METHODS We analyzed the expression of FASN and Ki-67, by immunohistochemistry on 29 carcinomas ex-pleomorphic adenoma (CXPAs) and 25 pleomorphic adenomas (PAs). RESULTS Ki-67 proliferation index and FASN expression were significantly higher in patients with CXPA than patients with PA (P
