Abstract

Dedifferentiated acinic cell carcinoma of the salivary gland is an uncommon variant of acinic cell carcinoma, characterized by the coexistence of both an usual low-grade acinic cell carcinoma and a high-grade dedifferentiated component, as well as by an accelerated clinical course. We describe a case of acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland in a 67-year-old woman, which recurred 4 times after surgery and radiotherapy. The recurrences consisted of residual foci of acinic cell carcinoma intermingled with a high-grade epithelial proliferation; the latter was focally constituted by cells with morphologic and immunohistochemical features of myoepithelium.
