A case of acinic cell tumor of the parotid gland is reported. This rare tumor may be clinically misdiagnosed as a mixed tumor. Ordinarily the tumor is histologically distinct but, occasionally, may be mistaken for a clear ceK adenoma, a clear cell variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma or even a renal cell carcinoma. The behavior and management of the tumor are discussed in this report. |
