Acinic cell carcinoma of the trachea.
Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) appears primarily in the parotid gland. It is extremely rare in the respiratory tract and only a few cases of ACC in the lungs, larynx, nose, and paranasal sinuses have been described. We present here a case of ACC located in the trachea and discuss possible therapeutic strategies in the light of this tumor behavior relating to other sites.
