Fine-needle aspiration of dedifferentiated acinic cell carcinoma: Report of a case with cyto-histological correlation.
Dedifferentiated Acinic Cell Carcinoma (DAcCC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy. It has a high tendency to recur and metastasize and thus has a poor prognosis. So far, to our knowledge, only one case of DAcCC has been reported in the cytology literature. Herein, we describe a second case of DAcCC from a fine-needle aspiration (FNA) along with its subsequent histological correlation.
