title: Acinic cell carcinoma metastatic to the brain: case report and ultrastructural study.
abstract: We report a case of isolated cerebral metastasis from an acinic cell carcinoma, which arose in minor salivary glands 20 years previously. The clinical, pathologic and ultrastructural features are described, together with a review of the literature, which suggests that this is an unusual occurrence.
