“…In these data, acinic cell carcinoma comprised 6% of all salivary gland tumors 3, 6. However, some studies have shown the occurrence to be 2.7–4.6% of all salivary gland neoplasms 5, 7.…”

“…However, some studies have shown the occurrence to be 2.7–4.6% of all salivary gland neoplasms 5, 7. Although this tumor has been reported to occur chiefly in the parotid gland (80–97% of cases), it occasionally occurs in other major salivary glands and about 0.2–8% of cases have been reported in the minor salivary glands 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; about 0.6% of cases occur in the minor salivary glands of the tongue 6. Acinic cell carcinoma occurs primarily in middle age (average, 44 years), but it can occur at virtually any age; it has been found in children up to 11 years and adults up to 77 years.…”

“…Most authors have agreed that tumors with infiltrative borders or local invasion are more likely to behave aggressively 4, 5. Acinic cell carcinoma is defined by cytological differentiation toward serous acinar cells, the characteristic feature of which is cytoplasmic periodic acid–Schiff‐positive zymogen‐type secretory granules 6.…”

“…The solid variant is characterized by numerous well‐differentiated acinar cells arranged in a pattern resembling normal parotid gland tissue 6, 12, 13, 15, 16. A solid growth pattern is the most easily recognized and dominant (38% of cases) morphological variant of acinic cell carcinoma; it is considered to be the “classic” pattern because it is typified by numerous well‐differentiated acinar cells and closely resembles a normal parotid gland 6. Findings in our case were consistent with this classic solid variant.…”

“…The annual incidence of salivary gland tumors throughout the world ranges from about 1–6.5 cases per 100,000 people 1. About 73.8% of these neoplasms are located in the major salivary glands, and the remaining 26.2% are found in the minor salivary gland 2. About 88.2% of minor salivary gland neoplasms have been found to be benign in nature and about 11.8% are malignant 3.…”

The cytologic features of an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma arising within Stensen's duct of the parotid gland are described. These malignancies and sarcomas in general are not usually included in the differential diagnosis of a parotid lesion as they rarely present as primary parotid malignancies. In addition, these neoplasms are even rarer outside of the pediatric and adolescent populations. Due to the difficulty of this diagnosis, we present this case to increase awareness of the diagnosis in the salivary glands and to highlight the cytomorphologic features that can aid in the correct diagnosis.

ObjectiveTo retrospective analysis of the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of parotid gland tumors, and to explore the value of ultrasound in the differentiation of benign and malignant parotid gland tumors.MethodsThe clinical data of 350 patients with parotid gland tumors in our hospital from 2002 to 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were examined by ultrasound. The postoperative pathological test results were used as the “gold standard” to verify and analyze the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant parotid tumors (PT).ResultsThe male‐to‐female ratio of 350 patients with parotid gland tumors was 1.16:1. The age of patients ranged from 12 to 87 years old. Patients aged 40–65 years accounted for 54.6%, which was the most common age of parotid gland tumors. Among 350 cases, 259 were benign and 91 were malignant. The top three benign PTs were pleomorphic adenoma, Warthin tumor, and basal cell adenoma. The top three malignant tumors were mucoepidermoid carcinoma, acinar cell carcinoma, and adenoid cystic carcinoma. The specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of benign and malignant parotid masses were 96.53%, 69.23%, 89.43%, 87.50%, and 87.72%, respectively.ConclusionThe pathological types of parotid gland tumors are complex and diverse. Ultrasonography has high accuracy in the diagnosis of PT, which can provide important evidence for the differentiation of benign and malignant PT, and then assist in the clinical selection of individualized surgical programs.
