Acinic Cell Carcinoma of the Salivary Gland with Metastatic Spread to the Pancreas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metastatic disease to the pancreas is rare among solid tumors and has not been well described for salivary cancers. We report a patient who developed an isolated metastatic lesion in the pancreas from acinic cell carcinoma of the salivary gland, presenting as acute pancreatitis.

Centrally occurring salivary gland tumors are rare. Because of a considerable overlap between the clinical and histopathological features, this group of tumors often produces a diagnostic difficulty to the clinicians and oral pathologists. Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an unusual, low-grade, malignant salivary gland tumor that represents approximately 2% of the salivary gland tumors with almos...
متن کاملAcinic Cell Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland with Four Morphological Features
Acinic cell carcinoma arising in salivary glands is a rare tumor, accounting for 2% to 5% of the primary neoplasms of the parotid gland. When these tumors are well-differentiated, the neoplasia has innocuous aspect, due to the similarity to normal parotid tissue. This makes the diagnosis difficult. Initially the malignancy of this tumor was uncertain; however, recent studies have declared it as...
متن کاملMetastatic acinic cell carcinoma presenting as a recurrent pituitary adenoma.
A cinic cell carcinoma is the third most common epithelial malignancy of the salivary glands. In the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology registry, acinic cell carcinoma accounts for 6% of all salivary gland tumours. It most often develops in the parotid gland (86%) and is slightly more common in females (58.8%). Acinic cell carcinoma has a more favourable prognosis than most salivary gland mali...
متن کاملUnusual intracytoplasmic inclusions in metastatic carcinoma. Discussion of their possible significance.
Unusual filamentous inclusion bodies in the cytoplasm of metastatic tumor cells are described. Their presence (intermingled with zymogen granules) seems rather restricted to cells of primary or metastatic acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas, acinic carcinoma of salivary gland (parotid gland) and Paneth cells (neoplastic or in zinc deficiency state). For the time being, the real nature of thes...
متن کاملRelapsed Acinic Cell Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland With Diffuse Distant Metastasis
Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon salivary gland neoplasm that generally displays an indolent growth pattern. Most cases arise in the major glands, particularly the parotid. However, it can arise from minor salivary glands in the oral cavity and aero-digestive tract. Although ACC is generally a low-grade malignant tumor, poorly differentiated and high-grade transformed variants exhibit...
