Acinic cell carcinoma is a malignant tumor representing 2% of all salivary tumors. 90% of the time found in the parotid gland, 10% intraorally on buccal mucosa or palate. The disease presents as a slow growing mass, associated with pain or tenderness in 50% of the cases. Often appears pseudoencapsulated.
Oncology, Pulmonology. Acinic cell carcinoma of the lung is a very uncommon tumor that typically appears close to the right bronchus. [ 1 ] As of 2022, only 29 cases have been documented in the English literature [ 1 ] since Fechner et al. first described this entity in 1972. [ 2 ] Histologically similar to the major and minor salivary glands ...
Acinar adenocarcinoma. Acinar adenocarcinoma is a histological subtype of gland-forming cancer that is diagnosed when cuboidal and/or columnar shaped malignant cells in the neoplastic tissue form acini and tubules. [1] It is a common form of cancer occurring in the lung and prostate gland.
The next-most common type, acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas, arises in the clusters of cells that produce these enzymes, and represents 5% of exocrine pancreas cancers. [27] Like the 'functioning' endocrine cancers described below, acinar cell carcinomas may cause over-production of certain molecules, in this case digestive enzymes, which ...
H&E stain. Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas, also acinar cell carcinoma, is a rare malignant exocrine tumour of the pancreas. It represents 5% of all exocrine tumours of the pancreas, making it the second most common type of pancreatic cancer. [1] It is abbreviated ACC. It typically has a guarded prognosis.
Not recommended [1] Small-cell carcinoma 0.3–2% [14] [15] [notes 1] Small blue cells with scant cytoplasm [1] High nucleus/cytoplasm ratio [1] "salt and pepper" chromatin [1] Nuclear molding [1] Necrosis of single cells, or geographic [1] Smearing artifacts [1] Half of cases have usual acinar components [1] Mucinous adenocarcinoma 0.2% [12]
Small-cell carcinoma is a type of highly malignant cancer that most commonly arises within the lung, [1] although it can occasionally arise in other body sites, such as the cervix, [2] prostate, [3] and gastrointestinal tract. Compared to non-small cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma is more aggressive, with a shorter doubling time, higher ...
Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that can exist in many different body sites. This tumor most often occurs in the salivary glands, but it can also be found in many anatomic sites, including the breast, [1][2] lacrimal gland, lung, brain, Bartholin gland, trachea, and the paranasal sinuses. It is the third-most common malignant ...
