[Giant acinic cell parotid gland adenocarcinoma of the papillary- cystic type].
A case of a 38-year-old male having an acinic cell adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland is reported. The tumor measured 22 cm and histologically it was of the papillary-cystic type. The following features were of interest: 1) the tumor size surpassed the size of previous reported acinic cell adenocarcinomas by 9 cm; and 2) the rarity of its histological variety (cystic papillary) demanded immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies to confirm the diagnosis.
