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...

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...

INTRODUCTION Acinic cell carcinoma is a rare form (2-4%) of parotid tumor. It is, however, the most frequent form of bilateral parotid tumor and the second most frequent form in children. CASE REPORT A 22-year-old man had several years' history of left parotid tumor, discovered to be acinic cell carcinoma. MRI found a synchronous contralateral tumor of the same histologic nature. DISCUSSION...

INTRODUCTION We report an observational study on the etiology and recurrence of acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland that seemed to be related to pregnancy. The medical literature has never reported such an association; therefore, our case report is probably the first to mention this observation. CASE PRESENTATION This report is of a 25-year-old Arabic female patient from the United Ara...

Acinic cell carcinoma is a rare breast tumour belonging to salivary gland-like tumours of the breast. They are "triple-negative" breast cancers even if their biological behaviour seems to be more favourable. Herein we present an acinic cell carcinoma arising on a background of typical and atypical microglandular adenosis in a 58-year-old woman, along with a review of the literature.

Acinic cell carcinoma is an uncommon low-grade malignant tumor of salivary glands. It was first described by Nasse in 1892, arising in parotid salivary gland. Salivary gland tumors are also known to develop within jaw bones, arising within the jaw as a primary central lesion, and are extremely rare with only a few cases reported. We present a rare case report of 65-year-old woman with intraosse...

IMPORTANCE Acinic cell carcinoma is a rare salivary neoplasm that is generally associated with a good prognosis, although a subset of patients develops local and distant recurrences. Given the rarity of the disease, factors to identify patients at risk for recurrences or decreased survival are not clearly defined. OBJECTIVES To identify clinicopathologic factors associated with adverse surviv...

Acinic cell carcinoma of the salivary glands is a rare cancer representing a low grade malignancy. The recurrence of a tumor is sometimes encountered, usually within 5 years of initial operation. We describe an unusual recurrence after a long interval following primary surgery. In 1987, a 60-year-old woman underwent excision of a mass in the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland under the...
