Introduction: Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) represents 1-6% of parotid gland neoplasms. Case Report: We report cytomorphological features of two uncommon variants of acinic cell carcinoma. The first case was an eleven-year-old female with a nodular mass in parotid and the FNA smears demonstrated a lymphoepithelial lesion composed of epithelial tumour cells with features of acinar cells in a lymphoid background. The second case was a 62-year-old male with a large parotid mass. The FNA smears revealed presence of extracellular, acellular amyloid-like material with tumour cells arranged in follicles. Discussion: Awareness of cytomorphological features of these unusual variants of acinic cell carcinoma may help to avoid diagnostic pitfall.

Objective: To describe our experience in managing two cases of primary malignant parotid lymphoma. Methods: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary University Referral Center Patients: Two Results: Both patients underwent superficial parotidectomy. Despite recurrence in one, the disease was controlled with conservative management. However, the disease was more aggressive in the other, requiring additional chemo-radiotherapy. Conclusion Malignant parotid lymphoma may present with varying stages, grades and clinical courses, requiring different management approaches. The treatment options are based on grading and staging at diagnosis and should be implemented depending on individual case.

Chondrosarcoma is extremely rare in maxillofacial soft tissue. A case diagnosed as well-differentiated chon- drosarcoma in the left parotid region was reported. The clinic pathological features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis were discussed with the literature review.

Superficial parotidectomy is the most widely accepted form of the treatment for benign parotid tumors. But the risk of postoperative complications for the treatment of a benign condition cannot be ignored. Recent studies suggest that conservative parotidectomy (partial superficial parotidectomy or extracapsular dissection) might be the reliable option for the resection of benign parotid tumors. Conservative parotidectomy showed similar recurrence rate and lesser post operative complications than superficial parotidectomy.

A case diagnosed as adenolymphoma and pleomorphic adenoma in unilateral parotid gland was reported. The clinic pathological features, possible mechanism, diagnosis and treatment were discussed based on previously reports in the literature.

Parotid gland tumors are usually solitary tumors, and multiple tumors of the parotid gland are extremely rare. We present a highly unusual case of bilateral and simultaneous pleomorphic adenoma and basal cell adenoma of the parotid gland. We review the literature and discuss the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of these two rare tumors.
