Acinic cell carcinoma is a slow growing tumor without any specific symptom and clinical manifestations start by the the time tumor itself is enlarged and obvious. It can be developed unilaterally or bilaterally mostly in parotid salivary gland.
History and Symptoms
- Acinic cell carcinoma is a slow growing tumor without any specific symptom.[1][2]
- Clinical manifestations start by the the time tumor itself is enlarged and obvious.
- It can be a unilateral or bilateral tumor mostly occurring in salivary glands specially parotid.
- Although there is no known symptom, diagnosis is often done late, metastasis is a rare complication, salivary acinic cell carcinoma has good prognosis.

- If left untreated local pressure increase on facial nerve and other neighboring structures, which may cause:
