A case of acinic cell adenocarcinoma on the left hemifacial area.
Acinic cell adenocarcinoma is a rare salivary gland tumor which predominantly occurs in the parotid gland. A 46-year-old man presented with a left preauricular mass of one month duration; the pathologic report showed acinic cell adenocarcinoma. He was transferred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery department, and a total parotidectomy was performed. We present this interesting case of acinic cell adenocarcinoma from the parotid gland with cutaneous involvement.
