Abstract:
Acinic cell tumor, a rare tumor of the salivary gland origin, consists of cells similar to the serous cells of the salivary gland. The tumor is almost exclusively paroti4 gland origin, accounting for 2. 7 to 4. 0% of all parotid tumors. The tumor is not,benign but has at least a low-grade malignant potential. We described herein a case of acinic cell tumor which had occurred on an unusual site, right inner epicanthal area of a 9-year-old girl Microscopically, a hematoxylin-eosin stained biopsy specimen showed rnany lobules com of round or polyhedral tumor cells. Each tumor cell had distinct cell membrane, clear cytoplasm, and relative1y eccentric nucleus. The cytoplasm of tumor cell cantaine4 diastase resistant PAS-positive material.
