title: Metastasis of parotid acinic cell carcinoma to an internal carotid aneurysm: a case report.
abstract: Tumours related to intracranial aneurysms are rare. The authors report the metastasis of a parotid acinic cell carcinoma which spread to an intracavernous carotid aneurysm in a 51-year-old female. The tumour and aneurysm were partially excised at craniotomy with relief of the patients presenting headache.
