Acinic Cell Carcinoma Epidemiology and Demographics

Swathi Venkatesan, M.B.B.S.[1]

Acinic cell carcinoma can appear at any age however, it is common in children.

  • Acinic cell carcinoma appears in all age groups, but presents at a younger median age (approximately 52 years) than most other salivary gland cancers.
  • Women are more frequently diagnosed than men.
  • Occurrences in children are quite common.
  • According to the National Cancer Data Base Report on cancer of the head and neck in the United States, the parotid gland was the predominant site of origin (86.3%) for reported acinic cell carcinoma.
  • Regional and distant metastasis, high grade, and large tumor size were all more common among patients older than 30.
  • No ethnic or racial predilection showed an association with acinic cell carcinoma.
