Papillary cystic variant of the acinic cell adenocarcinoma

چکیده
The papillary cystic variant of the acinic cell adenocarcinoma is a rare salivary gland tumour, which may behave in an unpredictable manner and exhibit non-specific histological features. Its diagnosis is important as it may prognosticate for a poorer outcome and it has been reported to universally fatal. We present a case of this unusual tumour and discuss the diagnostic and management difficulties. c 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

It has been conferred significance because it has a poorer progn...

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 کاملPapillary cystic type of acinic cell carcinoma of parotid: fine needle aspiration cytological features of a high grade variant with oncocytic metaplasia.
A 60-year-old female developed a right parotid swelling six months after surgery for intra-oral squamous cell carcinoma. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytological smears showed dissociated large and small pleomorphic tumour cells with abundant mitoses and oncocytic features. A cytological diagnosis of parotid acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) was made. Histological study of the subtotal parotidectomy ...
