ACCs are usually low grade, well‐differentiated neoplasms that constitute 2.5%–4% of parotid gland tumors.[1] The mean age of occurrence is in the fifth decade, but the papillary cystic variant is reported to occur in younger patients compared to the classic type. The most favored site is the parotid (86%), occasionally the submaxillary gland, minor salivary glands.[1] ACC is a neoplastic growt...
