  • Title: [Acinar cell carcinoma of the salivary glands].
    Author: Zbären P, Schreiber B, Lehmann W, Widgren S.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1987 Jun; 66(6):320-3. PubMed ID: 3626714.
    Abstract:
    Between 1972 and 1985, eleven cases of acinic cell carcinoma were treated at the ENT clinic of the University Hospital Geneva. Eight of them were located in the parotid gland, three in minor salivary glands, two of these on the hard palate and one on the lower lip. Local recurrence occurred in four cases: two were recurrences of a parotid gland carcinoma and two of a minor salivary gland carcinoma. Three patients developed metastases, two in cervical lymph nodes and one in the lungs. Two tumours presented a very aggressive local development. Hence, the acinic cell carcinoma has a significant tendency to recur, to produce metastases, and may have an aggressive evolution. Radical treatment by surgery is necessary.
