Objective: To study the expression of laminin (L N) and it’s receptor(LN-R)in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary glan d.Methods: The expression of LN and LN-R in 34 cases of ACC was studied by immunohistochemical ultrasensitive S-P methods.Results:Positive expression of LN was observed in 15 of 19 cases with adeno-tubular ACC and in 3 of 15 with parenchymal ACC (P0 05). Positive expression o f LN-R was observed in 7 of 19 cases with adeno-tubular ACC and in 11 of 15 with parenchymal ACC (P
