Shrimal Rimjhim, Negi S. R. , Vaishnav Kusum, Kumar Ankur
Abstract :
Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, slow growing, low grade neoplasm of salivary glands. ACC–follicular variant is histologically composed of closely packed round cystic spaces filled with colloid like material. The follicles are lined by intercalated duct like cells and non–specific glandular cells. The clinical picture is not specific and diagnosis is based on the histopathologic examination. We present a case of acinic cell carcinoma in a 40 year old female who reported with a painful swelling in the parotid region, which was clinically diagnosed as pleomorphic adenoma and histologically diagnosed as acinic cell carcinoma follicular variant and discuss the myriad architectural patterns exhibited by it.
